I'm a Artist and PhD Candidate studing at The School of Interactive Arts + Technology, Simon Fraser University, Surrey, BC, Canada.
My dissertation explores the design of social engagement in relationship to alternate reality games (ARG) and site-specific artworks. I draw on cultural theories rooted in fine art practices; primarily through the lens of theatre to investigate how ARG design can support the exploration of real-world places. I also write about community art practices, social media, design interventions, and arts research.
I am passionate about the synthesis of art and science research and have been involved in a number of large-scale projects under the umbrella of INTERACTION ART.ORG. I enjoy working with people and organizations on the development of outreach programs that promote healthy communities.
