Design & Computation Arts Courses
In 2008–2009 I have a limited-term appointment as Assistant Professor in Design & Computation Arts at Concordia University in Montréal, Canada.
DART 391: Collaborative Design Research
This is a core theory-based studio course in design research methodologies and strategies for collaborative project development — highlighting the role of designer as social and cultural mediator. Throughout the term we will focus on participatory, sustainable and responsible methods for designing with, and for, non-profits, government and other public organisations. Each week, studio practice and project development will be augmented with lectures, readings and discussions that locate collaborative design research practice within the broader cultural and material dimensions of public life, civic engagement and social justice.

CART 453: The Digital Nomad
In order to explore the roles that computational art can play in an increasingly technologised and mobile world, this studio course examines the social, material, ethical and aesthetical dimensions of nomadism in everyday life. Each week, studio practice and project development will be augmented with lectures, readings and discussions that locate computational art within the broader cultural and material dimensions of global mobility and nomadic lifestyles.
