Salutations ! 
My name is joe. I am an interaction designer // teacher // student // artist // programmer // musician // human living and working in NYC. I like to make things.
My work lives in the domains of sound, computation, physical computing, and interactivity. I am very interested in the relationship of the human body and environment, specifically in terms of how we measure, feel, and perceive our surroundings. How does this perception and experience affect the body in physical, subconscious and non-obvious ways? I want to quantify this input and output (perception and reaction) in ways that allow them to be expressed through externalized physical and digital means.
