Bio

I’m Dom, a senior creative developer working in real-time systems for live performance and interactive installations. I started my career in live music creating systems for shows that allowed the person on stage or myself to control the visuals live. After a few hundred shows of practice, I moved on to working to allow the audience to create the experience through interactive installations. Now I work with large brands, agencies, musicians, artists, and universities to create one of a kind experiences using technology.

Education

University of Colorado Bachelors of Arts, Film Studies, Bachelors of Arts, Humanities

In the film studies program, I explored the practices of experimental film making. The program was started by stan brackage whole created a style of hynogagic films on super 8. The school taught students to think critically and explore them medium in new ways for provoking thought and new experiences.

I also received a degree in Humanties with a Focus in Art history and Creative Writing. In art history, I explored modern art theory from 1890 to 1960. Much of this explored the use of technology for art, the ability to visualize science, and express psychological phenomena such as the processing of space. In creative writing, I studied short story writing.

I worked on the side doing lighting for concerts on campus and at the Fox Theater.

In this course, I learned the basics of musical theory from the renaissance to classical to contemporary. This included learning how music is read, written, and the styles of music and their compositions.
