Emotional Cartographies: Integrating Neuroscience and AI for Human-Centered Spatial Networks
This presentation explores the dynamic interplay between human emotions and the built environment through two interconnected streams. The first stream delves into how emotional responses can be captured and analyzed using advanced neuroscience devices, and how artificial intelligence can uncover patterns linking emotions to specific spatial, interior, and urban conditions. The second stream reflects on these findings by examining emotion-based spatial networks across small, medium, and large scales, demonstrating innovative visualization techniques that reveal the

Designing Hybrid Skins: An Exhibition by the Hybrid Body Lab Opening and Live Demo
The Hybrid Body Lab is dedicated to developing Hybrid Skins—culturally inspired, flexible interfaces that enhance the human experience. This exhibition brings together selected works from the lab spanning 2019 to 2026, alongside projects created through the Hybrid Body Lab Artist Residency.
Bridging engineering, design, and community-engaged research, the lab explores how these intimate technologies can reflect—rather than constrain—the complexity, diversity, and expressiveness of human life.
The exhibit is in the Jill Stuart Gallery in the Human

Personhood (2026)
As high-fidelity AI agents increasingly populate our digital lives through generative avatars, synthetic voices, and algorithmic personalities, we find ourselves coexisting with digital entities that mimic us, without fully being us. Personhood (2026) asks: what does it mean to be human in spaces we now share with simulations of humanity?
Personhood (2026) relies on state-based branching animation trees formed via AI animations that interpolate strategically between pivotal keyframes. At every given moment, the artwork “decides”

The Meaning of Extension: Cornell's Work in New York City
Part of the BCTR's Talks at Twelve series.
What does it mean to extend a university into the largest, most complex city in the country?
Cornell University Cooperative Extension—New York City (CUCE-NYC) has been answering that question for more than 60 years. Working across all five boroughs, CUCE-NYC translates Cornell’s research into practical programs that reach more than 30,000 New Yorkers each year—in nutrition and health, family and youth development, and STEM and urban agriculture

Who Owns What?
“Who Owns What?” investigates fashion’s relationship with identity through the various perspectives of those who may refer to themselves as “The Owner.” The exhibit is divided into three sections: “The Creator,” “The Wearer,” and “The Steward.” “The Creator” explores design process, brand identity, labor, and consumerism. “The Wearer,” reveals how clothing can become intimately personalized. “The Steward,” raises questions about the slipperiness of meanings over time. Through a series of vignettes, identity becomes something owned
