Connection, culture and community: Highlights from the 2026 CHE In-Service
More than 80 Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) educators from across New York State gathered on campus April 15-17 for the annual Cornell Human Ecology In-Service.
CCE connects communities with Cornell University research from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) and the College of Human Ecology (CHE). It facilitates partnerships among faculty and researchers, CCE staff and leadership, community partners, and students that advance the university’s land-grant mission. CHE’s collaborations focus on youth

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”
