creative, innovator, art + technology
I am a socially engaged artist with a background in human-computer interaction, integrated visual art, and mechanical engineering. Through experimental practices, I explore new ways to build connection and empathy through movement. I create artworks using custom-designed technology, traditional mediums, and social interactions. Employing embodied experience, I create interactive digital art systems, collaborative performances, and participatory workshops using Manibus (my motion-controlled painting robot.) I've created several short films exploring different human modes in a tech-saturated world. I believe in human-centered, Universal Design, and accessible and equitable practices.
"It was a dissatisfaction with the limitations of pure abstract painting. Nobody knew what the work could or should look like. Each individual's freedom was encouraged. Since nobody knew what the new art should look like, each of us was free to invent our own solution."
