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.

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.

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.
