A little bit about Em:

"My name is Em or Emmanuel, I am a creative technologist and educator based in Los Angeles. I am a Masters Student at UCLA's Design and Media Arts program focusing on creative code and interactive arts.

I often make work that tries to address the interface between the human world and the nonhuman. I see computation as a tool to recognize, simulate, and respond to the types of movement and intuition of other creatures. How can we use computers and animation to make an homage to the natural world? My work explores the usage of alternative forms of camera capture, simulation, pen plotting, and stopmotion animation. My favorite toolkits for interactive art are Processing and Touchdesigner.

In addition to creating personal art I love teaching and have had the pleasure to teach interaction and creative code to undergraduates. I like making tutorials for certain effects I achieve which can be found on my Youtube."
