The faculty’s signature research area on digital design and technology integration explores human-centered design principles to enhance live performances and immersive experiences, employing techniques such as sound design, projection mapping, and AR/MR/XR technologies. Faculty members’ work extends into tangible computing and data visualization, integrating generative design and parametric modeling to advance building structural design and optimize building systems through innovative applications of the Internet of Things and computer simulations.

Read more Read more-Finding art in the biological rhythms of treesJohnny DiBlasi, an assistant professor of art and visual culture, recently received a $10,000 grant from the Iowa Arts Council to develop “Transcoded Ecologies,” a project that fuses artificial intelligence and plant biodata into an art installation that incorporates light and sound. The concept involves sensors that track data produced by tree saplings and an artificial intelligence program that translates the data into a dynamic artistic experience.
