Episode 5: Spencer Chang
Spencer Chang is an artist, engineer, and toy maker based in San Francisco.
Spanning internet spaces, interactive sculptures, and creative infrastructure, their practice involves works that amplify the play, creation, and care that emerges from our relationships with and through computers.
These works act as interventions that leverage whimsical intimacy to interrogate our systems, invite active imagination for reinventing them, and finally, equip people with the means to do so.
