My name is George Panicker. I'm a computer artist and designer from Bangalore, India,
possessing a range of skills with varying technical and scientific fluency.
I was previously
an Artist in Residence at the ZKM Center for Art and Media, as well as a freelance
creative technologist, having worked with clients such as H&M, Microsoft,
Johnnie Walker, and Air-ink.
I currently work as a designer (sort of) at the Active Evolvable Matter Lab at
the National Center for Biological Sciences, where I assist scientists
in researching systems exhibiting life-like properties in both living and non-living matter.
Important questions that I'd like to flesh out answers to:
1) What does Art offer to the analysis and development of various New Media Technology, both existing and speculative?
2) What can Design Computing bring to Scientific research and communication, enabling breakthroughs in discovery and modelling?
3) How do we make sure the answers to both these questions can bring a very real, tangible improvement in quality of life
to the vast majority of Earth's inhabitants, human and non-human?
My resume can be downloaded here, and you may check out some of my work and essays here.
I also occasionally write music+visuals in SuperCollider&GLSL.
