Hello, my name is Kariina Altosaar.
I care about the in-between areas of city and nature. I like to walk and take photos of things that are part of the in-between. The City Nature Manifesto encourages you to get to know your local wastelands.
I studied Interactive Media Arts at NYU, where I explored code as a medium for facilitating connection between people. I learned that when designing interactive experiences it is helpful to rigorously design for how I want people to engage with each other during the experience before I involve any computational tools. My final project was a participatory performance that explored how people responded to the actions of the others in the room. I want to continue studying how current technology fits into human relationships.
