Research Interests
My research interests are located at the intersection of Creativity and Communication. The common denominator between both fields taps on the importance of complex systems, a distributed cognitive process, the role of materiality and re-signifies the role of signs as entryways to new multiple worlds. I have studied these topics in case studies and in the field through the application of Worldbuilding. As I keep on immersing myself in the field, I am more and more fascinated by the importance of how we compose our lives and how Creativity helps us understand this process. My objective, in this new lab called CIFRA, is to open a space for reflection for students within the University to understand and theorize on the different stages of their lives and the impact that education has on this process. The idea is to blend theory with practice through a more interdependent view of Creativity.
