Art Omi presents an immersive installation by artist Portia Munson in the Newmark Gallery, on view from June 25 through September 25. For over two decades, Munson has teased out cultural codes latent in the mass-produced items that surround us. Her monochromatic installations underscore the pleasures of looking at a dizzying array of items that are at once seductive and utterly disposable. Munson’s work offers an incisive study of the desires and terrors lurking just under the surface of commodities.

Wave Farm is delighted to announce that José Alejandro Rivera will serve as a 2022 Wave Farm Radio Art Fellow. During his engagement, Rivera will make additions to the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource and broadcast series on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM, which is syndicated to stations across the country through The Radio Art Hour. Rivera will also conduct workshops and listening sessions with WGXC programmers and interested members of the public, and create original radio artworks for broadcast.

José Alejandro Rivera (he/they) is a Puerto Rican, Ohio-born artist, composer, designer, and researcher currently based in SW Vermont. Their layered, place-based practice is informed by a background in music, architecture, and tending land. Working through sound and space to draw on critical cartography, technological ubiquity, systems, and flows of temporalities, José creates evocative, experimental soundworks, geo-notational maps, sound design for podcasts and the moving image, and multichannel, audiovisual installations and performances. He regards natural and built environments as woven fabrics of experience and association that exist and change across phenomenological, political, cultural, and aesthetic dimensions. In performances, they often use the space as an instrument, incorporating live and processed location recordings, various microphones and DIY electronics, radios, custom software, samples, and spatialized, textural elements that oscillate between noise and music. José’s encounters with the electromagnetic spectrum pursue expanded states of consciousness, sonic agency, sites of contingency and multiplicity, science fiction, and notions of identity as it relates to neurodivergence, diaspora, and queerness. His interests also include listening beyond sound, learning from the wisdom of plants and medicine making, regenerative farming, dreamwork, meditation, and movement practices like Qigong and yoga. https://proxemiasound.net/

As an extension of his aural cartographic practice, he performs and makes electroacoustic pieces as Proxemia. He has been featured on disquiet.com, framework radio, Rare Frequency, and textsound.org, among others. His multi-year exploration of the origins of weather mapping, radar, and the Green Building at MIT (2016-19), resulted in performances, a handmade cd/object, and a ground-level, 8.1 channel radio installation that mixed live transmission of spatial resonances with sonified weather data, custom software, and location recordings from the roof’s weather station. Other projects and collaborations have been exhibited at the Blackstar Film Festival, Martha Hill Dance Theater at Bennington College, National Arts Centre (NAC), MASS MoCA, Venice Biennale of Architecture, Bienal de Imagen en Movimiento (BIM), the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Together Boston, Goethe-Institut Boston, ICA Boston (Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College 1933–1957), The Sensory Ethnography Lab, MIT’s MediaLab and List Visual Art Center, The Center for Visual and Performing Arts at UMass Dartmouth, and Le Laboratoire in Cambridge, MA. From 2015-2020, he worked closely with Non-Event, a Boston-based experimental music series, as a live-sound engineer and graphic designer. Along with numerous collaborations, José’s fluid body of work also includes workshops, teaching, and the design and construction of an open­-air performance space for a youth dance and drumming group in rural Ghana. They studied art and sound in MIT’s Program in Art, Culture, and Technology (MSc 2017), and hold a BS in Architecture & Environmental Design from Kent State University (2011).

September 2–3, 7 PM at PS21. Philippe Quesne describes “Farm Fatale” as “a theater of postapocalyptic deceleration.” In a world laid waste by environmental collapse, human life has ceased. The sole survivors are five scarecrows, who embrace the roles of dreamers, poets, and activists in a quest for a kinder, less harmful future for the planet. The centerpiece of Pathways 2022 programming, “Farm Fatale” introduces audiences and participants to new European theater in a rural, pristine setting. The work is a cautionary tale about one of the most pressing issues of today’s world. Founder of the aptly named Vivarium Studio, French director and visual artist Philippe Quesne conceives of the theater as a place of temporary habitation within an artificial ecosystem, reimagined to observe a small slice of humanity with reinvented logic. Often developed in collaboration with his actors, Quesne’s works call upon the marvelous and the microscopic, the everyday and the unexpected, theatrical deception and the truth of nature.

Inspired by his experiences of street protests in Seoul, Compagnie Galmae – Juhyung Lee transforms a crowd of PS21 spectators gathered on the land and trails into a problem-solving collective. Faced with a dense maze of string that resembles a spider web, one spectator picks up a stone and starts to roll up the string bound to it, another walks into the middle of the labyrinth and contemplates the unraveling tangle. Passing over and under the threads, the spectators, transformed into actors in the performance, help each other. A neutral space becomes a place of encounters, the individuals form a community. It is fun, participatory, political, playful, and collaborative, and the evening ends with a celebration to commemorate the achievement of working together as a community. In the process, they begin to ask questions: What are individuals when they form groups to pursue a common goal? How do crowds move? How do people work together to solve a problem? Having toured the world, Compagnie Galmae’s collective performance C'est pas là, C'est par là engages audiences with the PS21 landscape, where they join forces to negotiate their relationships to space, place, and one another through a designed environment built specifically for the performance. Playful, political, and participatory, the work epitomizes PS21’s PATHWAYS programming.

Other projects and collaborations have been exhibited at the Blackstar Film Festival, Martha Hill Dance Theater at Bennington College, National Arts Centre (NAC), MASS MoCA, Venice Biennale of Architecture, Bienal de Imagen en Movimiento (BIM), the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Together Boston, Goethe-Institut Boston, ICA Boston (Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College 1933–1957), The Sensory Ethnography Lab, MIT’s MediaLab and List Visual Art Center, The Center for Visual and Performing Arts at UMass Dartmouth, and Le Laboratoire in Cambridge, MA. From 2015-2020, he worked closely with Non-Event, a Boston-based experimental music series, as a live-sound engineer and graphic designer. Along with numerous collaborations, José’s fluid body of work also includes workshops, teaching, and the design and construction of an open­-air performance space for a youth dance and drumming group in rural Ghana. They studied art and sound in MIT’s Program in Art, Culture, and Technology (MSc 2017), and hold a BS in Architecture & Environmental Design from Kent State University (2011).

Art Omi presents an immersive installation by artist Portia Munson in the Newmark Gallery, on view from June 25 through September 25. For over two decades, Munson has teased out cultural codes latent in the mass-produced items that surround us. Her monochromatic installations underscore the pleasures of looking at a dizzying array of items that are at once seductive and utterly disposable. Munson’s work offers an incisive study of the desires and terrors lurking just under the surface of commodities.

Wave Farm is delighted to announce that José Alejandro Rivera will serve as a 2022 Wave Farm Radio Art Fellow. During his engagement, Rivera will make additions to the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource and broadcast series on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM, which is syndicated to stations across the country through The Radio Art Hour. Rivera will also conduct workshops and listening sessions with WGXC programmers and interested members of the public, and create original radio artworks for broadcast.

José Alejandro Rivera (he/they) is a Puerto Rican, Ohio-born artist, composer, designer, and researcher currently based in SW Vermont. Their layered, place-based practice is informed by a background in music, architecture, and tending land. Working through sound and space to draw on critical cartography, technological ubiquity, systems, and flows of temporalities, José creates evocative, experimental soundworks, geo-notational maps, sound design for podcasts and the moving image, and multichannel, audiovisual installations and performances. He regards natural and built environments as woven fabrics of experience and association that exist and change across phenomenological, political, cultural, and aesthetic dimensions. In performances, they often use the space as an instrument, incorporating live and processed location recordings, various microphones and DIY electronics, radios, custom software, samples, and spatialized, textural elements that oscillate between noise and music. José’s encounters with the electromagnetic spectrum pursue expanded states of consciousness, sonic agency, sites of contingency and multiplicity, science fiction, and notions of identity as it relates to neurodivergence, diaspora, and queerness. His interests also include listening beyond sound, learning from the wisdom of plants and medicine making, regenerative farming, dreamwork, meditation, and movement practices like Qigong and yoga. https://proxemiasound.net/

As an extension of his aural cartographic practice, he performs and makes electroacoustic pieces as Proxemia.

Sandra Koponen's Calendar Project oil paintings were painted in 2022 and is an ongoing project. Each 5'x6' painting is a calendar of sorts each representing the month in which it was painted. Through the color abstraction of the seasons appear references to some of the disturbing events of 2022; the paintings are a cathartic exercise and invite the viewer in with their painterliness. Also on view are a couple of Ms. Koponen's eyeglass sculptures ad ceramic trucks. The Hudson Milliner Art Salon is open Fridays 3-6; Sat. & Sun. 12-6.

Along with numerous collaborations, José’s fluid body of work also includes workshops, teaching, and the design and construction of an open­-air performance space for a youth dance and drumming group in rural Ghana. They studied art and sound in MIT’s Program in Art, Culture, and Technology (MSc 2017), and hold a BS in Architecture & Environmental Design from Kent State University (2011).

Sandra Koponen's Calendar Project oil paintings were painted in 2022 and is an ongoing project. Each 5'x6' painting is a calendar of sorts each representing the month in which it was painted. Through the color abstraction of the seasons appear references to some of the disturbing events of 2022; the paintings are a cathartic exercise and invite the viewer in with their painterliness. Also on view are a couple of Ms. Koponen's eyeglass sculptures ad ceramic trucks. The Hudson Milliner Art Salon is open Fridays 3-6; Sat. & Sun. 12-6.

Art Omi presents an immersive installation by artist Portia Munson in the Newmark Gallery, on view from June 25 through September 25. For over two decades, Munson has teased out cultural codes latent in the mass-produced items that surround us. Her monochromatic installations underscore the pleasures of looking at a dizzying array of items that are at once seductive and utterly disposable. Munson’s work offers an incisive study of the desires and terrors lurking just under the surface of commodities.

Wave Farm is delighted to announce that José Alejandro Rivera will serve as a 2022 Wave Farm Radio Art Fellow. During his engagement, Rivera will make additions to the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource and broadcast series on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM, which is syndicated to stations across the country through The Radio Art Hour. Rivera will also conduct workshops and listening sessions with WGXC programmers and interested members of the public, and create original radio artworks for broadcast.

José Alejandro Rivera (he/they) is a Puerto Rican, Ohio-born artist, composer, designer, and researcher currently based in SW Vermont. Their layered, place-based practice is informed by a background in music, architecture, and tending land. Working through sound and space to draw on critical cartography, technological ubiquity, systems, and flows of temporalities, José creates evocative, experimental soundworks, geo-notational maps, sound design for podcasts and the moving image, and multichannel, audiovisual installations and performances. He regards natural and built environments as woven fabrics of experience and association that exist and change across phenomenological, political, cultural, and aesthetic dimensions. In performances, they often use the space as an instrument, incorporating live and processed location recordings, various microphones and DIY electronics, radios, custom software, samples, and spatialized, textural elements that oscillate between noise and music. José’s encounters with the electromagnetic spectrum pursue expanded states of consciousness, sonic agency, sites of contingency and multiplicity, science fiction, and notions of identity as it relates to neurodivergence, diaspora, and queerness. His interests also include listening beyond sound, learning from the wisdom of plants and medicine making, regenerative farming, dreamwork, meditation, and movement practices like Qigong and yoga. https://proxemiasound.net/

As an extension of his aural cartographic practice, he performs and makes electroacoustic pieces as Proxemia. He has been featured on disquiet.com, framework radio, Rare Frequency, and textsound.org, among others. His multi-year exploration of the origins of weather mapping, radar, and the Green Building at MIT (2016-19), resulted in performances, a handmade cd/object, and a ground-level, 8.1 channel radio installation that mixed live transmission of spatial resonances with sonified weather data, custom software, and location recordings from the roof’s weather station. Other projects and collaborations have been exhibited at the Blackstar Film Festival, Martha Hill Dance Theater at Bennington College, National Arts Centre (NAC), MASS MoCA, Venice Biennale of Architecture, Bienal de Imagen en Movimiento (BIM), the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Together Boston, Goethe-Institut Boston, ICA Boston (Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College 1933–1957), The Sensory Ethnography Lab, MIT’s MediaLab and List Visual Art Center, The Center for Visual and Performing Arts at UMass Dartmouth, and Le Laboratoire in Cambridge, MA.

His multi-year exploration of the origins of weather mapping, radar, and the Green Building at MIT (2016-19), resulted in performances, a handmade cd/object, and a ground-level, 8.1 channel radio installation that mixed live transmission of spatial resonances with sonified weather data, custom software, and location recordings from the roof’s weather station. Other projects and collaborations have been exhibited at the Blackstar Film Festival, Martha Hill Dance Theater at Bennington College, National Arts Centre (NAC), MASS MoCA, Venice Biennale of Architecture, Bienal de Imagen en Movimiento (BIM), the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Together Boston, Goethe-Institut Boston, ICA Boston (Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College 1933–1957), The Sensory Ethnography Lab, MIT’s MediaLab and List Visual Art Center, The Center for Visual and Performing Arts at UMass Dartmouth, and Le Laboratoire in Cambridge, MA. From 2015-2020, he worked closely with Non-Event, a Boston-based experimental music series, as a live-sound engineer and graphic designer. Along with numerous collaborations, José’s fluid body of work also includes workshops, teaching, and the design and construction of an open­-air performance space for a youth dance and drumming group in rural Ghana. They studied art and sound in MIT’s Program in Art, Culture, and Technology (MSc 2017), and hold a BS in Architecture & Environmental Design from Kent State University (2011).

Sandra Koponen's Calendar Project oil paintings were painted in 2022 and is an ongoing project. Each 5'x6' painting is a calendar of sorts each representing the month in which it was painted. Through the color abstraction of the seasons appear references to some of the disturbing events of 2022; the paintings are a cathartic exercise and invite the viewer in with their painterliness. Also on view are a couple of Ms. Koponen's eyeglass sculptures ad ceramic trucks. The Hudson Milliner Art Salon is open Fridays 3-6; Sat. & Sun. 12-6.

Wave Farm is delighted to announce that José Alejandro Rivera will serve as a 2022 Wave Farm Radio Art Fellow. During his engagement, Rivera will make additions to the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource and broadcast series on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM, which is syndicated to stations across the country through The Radio Art Hour. Rivera will also conduct workshops and listening sessions with WGXC programmers and interested members of the public, and create original radio artworks for broadcast.

José Alejandro Rivera (he/they) is a Puerto Rican, Ohio-born artist, composer, designer, and researcher currently based in SW Vermont. Their layered, place-based practice is informed by a background in music, architecture, and tending land. Working through sound and space to draw on critical cartography, technological ubiquity, systems, and flows of temporalities, José creates evocative, experimental soundworks, geo-notational maps, sound design for podcasts and the moving image, and multichannel, audiovisual installations and performances. He regards natural and built environments as woven fabrics of experience and association that exist and change across phenomenological, political, cultural, and aesthetic dimensions. In performances, they often use the space as an instrument, incorporating live and processed location recordings, various microphones and DIY electronics, radios, custom software, samples, and spatialized, textural elements that oscillate between noise and music. José’s encounters with the electromagnetic spectrum pursue expanded states of consciousness, sonic agency, sites of contingency and multiplicity, science fiction, and notions of identity as it relates to neurodivergence, diaspora, and queerness. His interests also include listening beyond sound, learning from the wisdom of plants and medicine making, regenerative farming, dreamwork, meditation, and movement practices like Qigong and yoga. https://proxemiasound.net/

Also on view are a couple of Ms. Koponen's eyeglass sculptures ad ceramic trucks. The Hudson Milliner Art Salon is open Fridays 3-6; Sat. & Sun. 12-6.

Wave Farm is delighted to announce that José Alejandro Rivera will serve as a 2022 Wave Farm Radio Art Fellow. During his engagement, Rivera will make additions to the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource and broadcast series on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM, which is syndicated to stations across the country through The Radio Art Hour. Rivera will also conduct workshops and listening sessions with WGXC programmers and interested members of the public, and create original radio artworks for broadcast.

José Alejandro Rivera (he/they) is a Puerto Rican, Ohio-born artist, composer, designer, and researcher currently based in SW Vermont. Their layered, place-based practice is informed by a background in music, architecture, and tending land. Working through sound and space to draw on critical cartography, technological ubiquity, systems, and flows of temporalities, José creates evocative, experimental soundworks, geo-notational maps, sound design for podcasts and the moving image, and multichannel, audiovisual installations and performances. He regards natural and built environments as woven fabrics of experience and association that exist and change across phenomenological, political, cultural, and aesthetic dimensions. In performances, they often use the space as an instrument, incorporating live and processed location recordings, various microphones and DIY electronics, radios, custom software, samples, and spatialized, textural elements that oscillate between noise and music. José’s encounters with the electromagnetic spectrum pursue expanded states of consciousness, sonic agency, sites of contingency and multiplicity, science fiction, and notions of identity as it relates to neurodivergence, diaspora, and queerness. His interests also include listening beyond sound, learning from the wisdom of plants and medicine making, regenerative farming, dreamwork, meditation, and movement practices like Qigong and yoga. https://proxemiasound.net/

As an extension of his aural cartographic practice, he performs and makes electroacoustic pieces as Proxemia. He has been featured on disquiet.com, framework radio, Rare Frequency, and textsound.org, among others. His multi-year exploration of the origins of weather mapping, radar, and the Green Building at MIT (2016-19), resulted in performances, a handmade cd/object, and a ground-level, 8.1 channel radio installation that mixed live transmission of spatial resonances with sonified weather data, custom software, and location recordings from the roof’s weather station. Other projects and collaborations have been exhibited at the Blackstar Film Festival, Martha Hill Dance Theater at Bennington College, National Arts Centre (NAC), MASS MoCA, Venice Biennale of Architecture, Bienal de Imagen en Movimiento (BIM), the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Together Boston, Goethe-Institut Boston, ICA Boston (Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College 1933–1957), The Sensory Ethnography Lab, MIT’s MediaLab and List Visual Art Center, The Center for Visual and Performing Arts at UMass Dartmouth, and Le Laboratoire in Cambridge, MA. From 2015-2020, he worked closely with Non-Event, a Boston-based experimental music series, as a live-sound engineer and graphic designer. Along with numerous collaborations, José’s fluid body of work also includes workshops, teaching, and the design and construction of an open­-air performance space for a youth dance and drumming group in rural Ghana. They studied art and sound in MIT’s Program in Art, Culture, and Technology (MSc 2017), and hold a BS in Architecture & Environmental Design from Kent State University (2011).

Along with numerous collaborations, José’s fluid body of work also includes workshops, teaching, and the design and construction of an open­-air performance space for a youth dance and drumming group in rural Ghana. They studied art and sound in MIT’s Program in Art, Culture, and Technology (MSc 2017), and hold a BS in Architecture & Environmental Design from Kent State University (2011).

Sandra Koponen's Calendar Project oil paintings were painted in 2022 and is an ongoing project. Each 5'x6' painting is a calendar of sorts each representing the month in which it was painted. Through the color abstraction of the seasons appear references to some of the disturbing events of 2022; the paintings are a cathartic exercise and invite the viewer in with their painterliness. Also on view are a couple of Ms. Koponen's eyeglass sculptures ad ceramic trucks. The Hudson Milliner Art Salon is open Fridays 3-6; Sat. & Sun. 12-6.

Wave Farm is delighted to announce that José Alejandro Rivera will serve as a 2022 Wave Farm Radio Art Fellow. During his engagement, Rivera will make additions to the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource and broadcast series on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM, which is syndicated to stations across the country through The Radio Art Hour. Rivera will also conduct workshops and listening sessions with WGXC programmers and interested members of the public, and create original radio artworks for broadcast.

José Alejandro Rivera (he/they) is a Puerto Rican, Ohio-born artist, composer, designer, and researcher currently based in SW Vermont. Their layered, place-based practice is informed by a background in music, architecture, and tending land. Working through sound and space to draw on critical cartography, technological ubiquity, systems, and flows of temporalities, José creates evocative, experimental soundworks, geo-notational maps, sound design for podcasts and the moving image, and multichannel, audiovisual installations and performances. He regards natural and built environments as woven fabrics of experience and association that exist and change across phenomenological, political, cultural, and aesthetic dimensions. In performances, they often use the space as an instrument, incorporating live and processed location recordings, various microphones and DIY electronics, radios, custom software, samples, and spatialized, textural elements that oscillate between noise and music. José’s encounters with the electromagnetic spectrum pursue expanded states of consciousness, sonic agency, sites of contingency and multiplicity, science fiction, and notions of identity as it relates to neurodivergence, diaspora, and queerness. His interests also include listening beyond sound, learning from the wisdom of plants and medicine making, regenerative farming, dreamwork, meditation, and movement practices like Qigong and yoga. https://proxemiasound.net/

As an extension of his aural cartographic practice, he performs and makes electroacoustic pieces as Proxemia. He has been featured on disquiet.com, framework radio, Rare Frequency, and textsound.org, among others. His multi-year exploration of the origins of weather mapping, radar, and the Green Building at MIT (2016-19), resulted in performances, a handmade cd/object, and a ground-level, 8.1 channel radio installation that mixed live transmission of spatial resonances with sonified weather data, custom software, and location recordings from the roof’s weather station. Other projects and collaborations have been exhibited at the Blackstar Film Festival, Martha Hill Dance Theater at Bennington College, National Arts Centre (NAC), MASS MoCA, Venice Biennale of Architecture, Bienal de Imagen en Movimiento (BIM), the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Together Boston, Goethe-Institut Boston, ICA Boston (Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College 1933–1957), The Sensory Ethnography Lab, MIT’s MediaLab and List Visual Art Center, The Center for Visual and Performing Arts at UMass Dartmouth, and Le Laboratoire in Cambridge, MA.

Their layered, place-based practice is informed by a background in music, architecture, and tending land. Working through sound and space to draw on critical cartography, technological ubiquity, systems, and flows of temporalities, José creates evocative, experimental soundworks, geo-notational maps, sound design for podcasts and the moving image, and multichannel, audiovisual installations and performances. He regards natural and built environments as woven fabrics of experience and association that exist and change across phenomenological, political, cultural, and aesthetic dimensions. In performances, they often use the space as an instrument, incorporating live and processed location recordings, various microphones and DIY electronics, radios, custom software, samples, and spatialized, textural elements that oscillate between noise and music. José’s encounters with the electromagnetic spectrum pursue expanded states of consciousness, sonic agency, sites of contingency and multiplicity, science fiction, and notions of identity as it relates to neurodivergence, diaspora, and queerness. His interests also include listening beyond sound, learning from the wisdom of plants and medicine making, regenerative farming, dreamwork, meditation, and movement practices like Qigong and yoga. https://proxemiasound.net/

As an extension of his aural cartographic practice, he performs and makes electroacoustic pieces as Proxemia. He has been featured on disquiet.com, framework radio, Rare Frequency, and textsound.org, among others. His multi-year exploration of the origins of weather mapping, radar, and the Green Building at MIT (2016-19), resulted in performances, a handmade cd/object, and a ground-level, 8.1 channel radio installation that mixed live transmission of spatial resonances with sonified weather data, custom software, and location recordings from the roof’s weather station. Other projects and collaborations have been exhibited at the Blackstar Film Festival, Martha Hill Dance Theater at Bennington College, National Arts Centre (NAC), MASS MoCA, Venice Biennale of Architecture, Bienal de Imagen en Movimiento (BIM), the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Together Boston, Goethe-Institut Boston, ICA Boston (Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College 1933–1957), The Sensory Ethnography Lab, MIT’s MediaLab and List Visual Art Center, The Center for Visual and Performing Arts at UMass Dartmouth, and Le Laboratoire in Cambridge, MA. From 2015-2020, he worked closely with Non-Event, a Boston-based experimental music series, as a live-sound engineer and graphic designer. Along with numerous collaborations, José’s fluid body of work also includes workshops, teaching, and the design and construction of an open­-air performance space for a youth dance and drumming group in rural Ghana. They studied art and sound in MIT’s Program in Art, Culture, and Technology (MSc 2017), and hold a BS in Architecture & Environmental Design from Kent State University (2011).
