Bio

An Installation Artist and Interaction Designer, Ruairi Glynn's work explores the opportunities that responsive technologies provide for participatory and performative spatial experiences. He is a graduate of the Bartlett School of Architecture where he studied under Prof. Stephen Gage & Prof. Ranulph Glanville, and a member of the Institute of Digital Art & Technology, founded by Roy Ascot. His work crosses artistic and scientific disciplines from sculpture, architecture and dance to artificial intelligence, computer vision and robotics following a cybernetic approach inspired in particular by Gordon Pask's experimental machines and theoretical developments in the 1950's & 60's. He is a multi award winning artist most recently receiving the ‘European Top Talent Award for Digital Media’ in the category of 'Installation Art', at Europrix 2007 held in Graz, Austria.

As well as a practicing artist, he's the editor of 'Interactive Architecture', a leading online resource dedicated to emerging artistic and architectural explorations of responsive technologies. He is a thesis tutor at the Bartlett School of Architecture as well as teaching on the MA Textile Futures and MA Industrial Design programmes at the University of Arts, London. He is a visiting critic at leading Architecture and Digital Arts Faculties in the UK, Netherlands & Sweden. He has also been the organizer of a number of international events including the “Interactive Architecture & Media” symposium held in January 2007 at the Eyebeam Gallery in New York, and 'Rip Mix Burn: Cultural Industries Redefined' conference held at the Plymouth Arts Center, UK.
