Applying a hacker\u2019s aesthetic, he often repurposes existing technology to create human-centered experiences in public space and the open field. Countering the trend for technology to dissociate us from ourselves and surroundings, Michael\u2019s works connect us to each other and the experience of the present moment. He is the co-inventor of the Infl3ctor, the projection system for Digital Calligraffiti.<\/p>\n<p>Michael\u2019s work has been shown internationally at Ars Electronica, Moscow Museum of Modern Art (MMOMA), ISEA, Media Architecture Biennale, transmediale, White Wall Beirut, Gray Area Foundation For The Arts, Art Hack Day, NASA Ames Research Center, SPEKTRUM Berlin, Urban Media Art Academy, Calligrafreaks, Citilab Cornell\u00e0, and many others. He holds a Master\u2019s Degree from the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at New York University, USA and a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Ang is an artist and engineer who creates light objects, interactive installations, and technological tools that expand the possibilities of human expression and connection.
