<P STYLE="font-size: 14px; border: none; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #333;">Dysfunctional devices, weird technologies, awkward interfaces - this is eccentric engineering. Straddling art, engineering and design, eccentric engineering allows us to ask, who are we designing for? What does 'non-human' centred design look like? What is revealed when something doesn't quite work?</P>
<P STYLE="font-size: 14px; border: none; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #333; margin-bottom: 30px;">Tega Brain is an Australian-born artist and environmental engineer whose work reimagines the infrastructures, interfaces and institutions that structure our relationship with larger environment systems. She creates speculative systems, experimental software, installations and data visualisations (sometimes using underpants). Brain is currently teaching at the School for Poetic Computation in New York and has recently been in residence at the Environmental Health Clinic at New York University. Her work can be seen here: <A STYLE="text-decoration: none;" HREF="www.tegabrain.com" REL="nofollow">www.tegabrain.com</A></P>
