Design as Obsession/Designer in the Field

As an artist, Amit develops novel instruments and methods for making music, animation, and dance. His personal and collaborative work with James Paterson has recently exhibited and performed at the London Design Museum, Paris Pompidou Center, Sundance Film festival and ICC Museum in Tokyo. As a designer, his focus is on assistive technologies. His latest project attempts to make everyday software and video games more accessible to children with disabilities. As an educator, he regularly teaches at New York University's ITP and Cooper Union's Arts department. He is also an advisor for the Institute of Play, who is developing a public school that will use game design and game-inspired methods to teach critical 21st Century skills. 

Amit was recently commissioned by the MacArthur foundation to publish his research work in the upcoming book Ecology of Games (MIT Press).
