Mark's research looks at the role digital technology has on our experience of the natural world around us. He does this through creating and designing interventions in the physical space to ask questions and raise awareness of our use of technology and the impact on our awareness of time and space and the world around us.
Mark uses design as a tool to provoke questioning and self-awareness of our relationship, experience & understanding with the physical environment, with the aim to recognise the importance of ‘headspace’. Through this, his research looks at the intersection of art, design and technology and the impact they have in shaping culture and society.
Mark works specifically on projects about social wellbeing and community building that are cross-disciplinary, collaborative and creative, where digital interactive design and user experience is used to build awareness and engagement.
