Cati Vaucelle is a PhD student and research assistant at MIT Media
Laboratory's Tangible Media group with Dr Hiroshi Ishii. Cati is
French. She has degrees in Philosophy, Fine Arts, Computer Science,
Mathematics, and Economics. Cati began using microcontrollers to
augment interaction with everyday objects while still living in
Paris. After studying and working at the MIT Media Lab Europe, Dublin
(2002-04), she noticed that a new materiality was emerging based
on our physical limitations being supported by virtual possibilities.
Her present work examines the interdependencies between the virtual
and the physical, and explores the fundamental differences between
them. This has implications for fields as diverse as architecture,
fashion, and health care, three areas in which she is currently
developing applications.
Catie will discuss: Textable
