Lunch and Learn: MDes for HCI and Emerging Technology
Join us for an informative overview of the MDes program presented by the chair, Jonathan Hanahan, along with insights into ongoing MDes research projects. Lunch will be provided.
This event is for current WashU students.
Jonathan Hanahan is a researcher, critical designer, and educator who loves technology but is equally terrified by it. He uses technology to critique technology. His speculative practice explores the physical, cultural, and social ramifications of digital experiences and the role technology plays in shaping our everyday realities. He makes Thick Interfaces — tools, devices, software, artifacts, websites, and videos that agitate the digital facade and reveal the complexity underneath our devices’ thin veneer.
