An interactive installation called Passages that would relate people at distance through their silhouette shapes. A window screen would be set in two different cities and as people would move their bodies they could see the shadows of strangers. It’s a work on intimacy at distance, how we connect without words, without sound, just a subtle sense of someone else’s presence. This is a piece I’ve done in 2005. It’s one of my favorite things.

I’m a doctorate student in design at Harvard GSD and my thesis topic is interactive fabrication. Through this class I want to explore ways to push boundaries of transforming data into tangible artefacts. I want to create experiences with unusual machines that will make objects in real time based on users’ data.

My work is at the crossroads of art, design and technology. I’ve a strong interdisciplinary approach, including both theory and practice. My career has included interaction design, human-computer interaction research, interactive art and teaching. I love to collaborate and exchange with people from very diverse fields.
