Instructors
Associate Lecturer in Computing at Goldsmiths, Expert in Human-Computer Interaction
Dr. Edward Anstead is an Associate Lecturer in the Department of Computing at Goldsmiths, University of London, where he has been a faculty member since September 2016. His teaching primarily revolves around software development and fundamental topics in computer science, with a focus on usability and supervision of several final-year projects. Edward's research interests lie in human-computer interaction, specifically examining collaborative group practices with distributed devices. He is particularly keen on exploring shared media, including television, video, and photography. Additionally, he has published work on videographic processes and ethical data collection, contributing to the understanding of interaction in digital environments.
Innovating Digital Art through Play and Performance
Simon Katan is a digital artist with a rich background in music and a deep interest in games and play. His artistic work features hidden mechanisms, emergent behavior, paradoxes, self-reference, inconsistency, abstract humor, absurdity, and a sense of wonder. Katan develops software that leads users on musical journeys through animated worlds and designs games that transform players into unwitting performers of quirky and sometimes absurd rituals. In recognition of his creative contributions, he received a Prix Ars Electronica Honorary Mention in 2012 and has collaborated with various organizations across Europe, including IEM in Graz, ZKM in Karlsruhe, the Borealis Festival in Bergen, the Royal Opera House, Roundhouse, Spitalfields Festival, and Tyneside Cinema. His current research focuses on leveraging machine learning and co-adaptation in the performing arts to enhance accessibility for diverse audiences.
