About me
Eleni is studying an MA in "Interaction Design Communication" at the "University of the Arts London". She is an artist, designer and developer who explores different disciplines and experiments with creative media and technologies. Her recent work addresses speculative and critical aspects of embodied experiences through art, design and technology. Exploring the disparity of perception within the real and the virtual, her performative installations are setting questions about what does experience mean to us. Her practice allows collaboration of the human with the non-human, arising empathy for the alien form. She holds a BA Hons in "Management Science and Technology" from "Athens University of Economics and Business" with specialization in Information Systems and she has working experience in Web Development.

Exploring the disparity of perception within the real and the virtual, this installation consists of three layers. In the first layer, a body is trapped in a virtual world that the audience cannot perceive. The person disappears under the digital layer of the virtual self of this body, that is ultimately dependent, symbiotica

    The course is called Interaction Design Communication and has three distinct areas. We are exploring these through research, prototyping and making to develop responsive and complex design projects: Interaction – How humans, non-humans, systems and objects interact in meaningful experiences. Design – Addressing aesthetic and strategic needs to seek value in the material world. Communication – The ability to work with narrative and information to craft futures. We are developing skills in interaction design, design prototyping and physical computing, user-centred design, open source digital platforms, forecasting and futures, design research, new and interactive media, designing in the anthropocene, strategic design, and critical thinking and making.
