I'm a Phd student
at INCITE with Dr Nina Wakeford. I'm interested in DIY/ grassroots technology and am currently in the write-up phase of an ethnography I conducted in 2006/ 07 about my experiences participating in a volunteer community wireless network in Australia. For info on this, other INCITE researchers and projects see the INCITE blog.
Some research projects I've been
involved in: Intel internship: For three months,
over summer 2004, I had an internship in Portland, OR, with Genevieve
Bell of Intel's People and Practices Research Lab (PAPR)
- she is now director of a new business group: Domestic Designs and
Technology Research. During this time I explored experimented with visual
elucidations of ethnographic data and insights generated by the Inside
Asia project. UT:
From 2001-2003 I worked with an interdisciplinary team (filmmakers,
interaction/information architects, artists, designers) on a location
based wireless application system called Urban Tapestries. We developed
and designed a prototype for people to embed multi-media information
in places via hand held devices. The project was sponsored by France
Telecom, Orange, Apple, DTI etc. We made a variety of short
animations, bodystorming
models and ran creative labs and a public
trial which is documented on the blog. |
