Jonah Brucker-Cohen works as a Research Fellow in the Human Connectedness
Group
at Media Lab Europe in Dublin, Ireland, and is a Ph.D. candidate in the
Networks
and Telecommunications Research Group (NTRG) at Trinity College Dublin. He
received a Masters from the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU
and
spent two years there as an Interval Research Fellow creating interactive
digital / networked projects. His work focuses on subverting existing
relationships to human / networked interfaces by building new real-world
inputs
to networks, redefining how information is used and disseminated online, and
shifting virtual processes into physical forms through networked devices and
experiences. His work has been shown both in the US and internationally at
events such as DEAF, Transmediale, SIGGRAPH, ISEA, Ars Electronica and
others.

Switzerland and has worked as an Electronic Art Consultant for ABCDF, an
exhibition held in el Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mexico City, Mexico. As a
Design
Fellow at Parsons School of Design in New York, she developed and taught
