Chris Coleman, Professor of Arts and Director of ACCAD (the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design), describes his identity as a “critical arts engineer,” who translates technology for creative practice. He recounts leaving mechanical engineering for art, and explains how his work in sculpture, animation, creative coding, and interactive installations focuses on complex systems, control, and how people experience space and time. Coleman also discusses several upcoming projects, including his significant work with the Clinic for Open Source Arts along with fellow Ohio State Professor of Art and Technology, Laleh Mehran.
