Curriculum Vitae

Research Interests

Responsive Environments: How do artists and designers create spaces that react to their users in ways that extend beyond binary logics and decision trees? Can we enrichen the spaces where people live and work by adding subtle digital characters who respond to occupants without the need for a discrete interface?

Media Choreography: In what ways can a simple change in media completely alter the perceived theme or message of an exhibit? How can we design towards affecting a change in mood or emotion with interactive media without the need to modify underlying software functionality?
