Interdisciplinary Catalyst

• Studio Co-Laboratory
The Studio Co‐Laboratory project brings together creative researchers from the colleges of Liberal Arts, Design, Biological Sciences and Science and Engineering as a catalyst for interdisciplinary research and collaboration informed by concepts and practices in art, architecture, biology, computer and electrical engineering, design, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering and materials science. The humanistic and social nature of the Studio Co‐Laboratory research focus creates a context that brings together researchers in the arts, architecture, design, and the sciences who do not typically have access to one anothers research processes nor the opportunity for creative research collaboration. The convergence of these seemingly divergent modes of inquiry and practice‐based research reflects an emerging phenomenon of artists, architects and designers actively exploring scientific frontiers and technological innovation. Collaborators of the Studio Co‐Laboratory project will take an interdisciplinary approach to developing project proposals for experimental forms of public intervention and engagement that address social needs, characterized as transitional in nature, that may benefit from ephemeral, mobile, transformable, or time-based responses, rather than "permanent solutions

Interdisciplinary Studios for Creative Research
• eStudio

• eXperimental Media Studio
Interdisciplinary Symposium :::
• Digital Dialogues :: Technology and the Hand
co-curator of studio infused symposium.
I led the seeding of Haystack material based Studios with digital technologies from the MIT Media Lab, involving new media artists, researchers from Media Fabrics, Computing Culture, Tangible Media, Lifelong Kindergarten, and the Center for Bits and Atoms at the Media Lab well as haptic, material science, brain and cognitive scientists form MIT. Stu Kestenbaum, Director of Haystack Mountain School, invited material/media based artists from the extended Haystack community. We each invited wild card participant catalysts offereing perspectives outside of these perceive polarities as well as those that straddled both worlds Among those on my wish list were Pualine Oliveros and Lowry Burgess.
