Lunch
reception begins at 12:30 pm. Presentation
begins at 1:00 pm. Materializing
Interaction As
technology advances and we progress towards a
world imbued with computation, how will we
create programmable objects and spaces that
are responsive and can take full advantage of
our senses? In
this talk, Marcelo Coelho will present his
design and research practice, and how the
capabilities of computers and materials can be
intertwined to create new aesthetic
experiences. He will present examples of
wearables, interactive installations, live
performances, and nano- to stadium-sized
sculptures, which present new opportunities
and challenges in design, fabrication, and
assembly. Bio Marcelo

designer working on objects, installations,
and live experiences. Spanning a wide range of
