| about me | Digital and virtual applications are changing our very conception of the physical space. A new materiality is emerging, based on our physical limitations supported by virtual possibilities. I believe that our perception of our body is changed by the machine we build. Digital has changed our perception of the physical, for instance its surface, light and texture. However, an incredible opportunity is being lost. Combined virtual and physical applications are not being designed with their independent principles of physical and virtual in mind. My research explores the fundamental differences between these worlds, and how, as the line between them blurs, we can take the lessons of the virtual space and redesign the physical space. I am currently research assistant and PhD student at the MIT Media Laboratory, Tangible Media Group. |
