With a Degree in Communication Design / Graphic Art, and a Masters in Multimedia Art researching on Generative Art from the Fine Arts Faculty of Porto University, her purpose as a PhD student in Digital Media is to do research on dynamic surfaces that change their physical appearance and texturing when we touch them, to improve our tactile sensations when interacting with tangible media and intensify the physical experience between users and digital systems. Her thesis will be on Haptic Art – biomimetic artificial systems, exploring the intelligent materials, and the emergent sensitive technologies. Having much curiosity by the complexity of the natural systems will be researched ways of reproducing in artificial systems, elements of that complexity, with special emphasis on the experience of the tactile sensation, intensifying the interactivity of the media, and exploring the physical sensation that drives us to the essence of our natural environment. For a future with fewer cold screens and more live surfaces that sense, react, and change their physical state, as a response to our inputs.
