As a psychologist, Dom Massaro's interest in Digital Art and New Media centers on human experience. He has carried out research on perception, cognition, and memory, and these processes are primary contributors to art experience. His current work involves the interface between humans and technology, and how this interface can be configured to optimize human experience. Several recent projects include the physical, psychological, and literary study of time, and the development and theoretical and applied use of a completely synthetic embodied conversational agent for human machine interaction, language tutoring, and edutainment.
A more complete description of his research and interests is available on his website.
