research
Through research projects or Postgraduate study, Chris' research interests span the following discourses:
Embracing the power of AI and harnessing it as a tool to drive forward Product Design education.
Teaching and experimenting with curatorial strategies in digital 'risk-free' environments such as Second Life.
Crossing boundaries between analogue and digital workshop practices with a focus on materiality.
How digital tools and processes can be incorporated into traditional methods of producing sculpture; how these different media types alter the capacities of the maker's body.
