Ani is a speculative technologist, artist, designer and researcher. Her work explores the intersection between technology, sensory perception, culture & implications of emerging technologies. Her work has spanned the scales of built installations, prosthetic wearables, virtual reality immersions, to synthetic biology, as she searches for the epiphanies linking technological innovation with emotional affordance. Trained as an artist at Dartmouth, an architect at Harvard, and now a ​researcher at MIT​ Media Lab​, Ani continually seeks to discover the unexpected, through playful experimentation, intuition, and speculative storytelling.
