Kate Hartman is an Associate Professor at OCAD University in Toronto, where she is the founding director of Social Body Lab, a research and design team dedicated to exploring body-centric technologies in the social context. Hartman is also an adjunct instructor at the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) and director of ITP Camp at New York University. As an artist and creative technologist interested in the nuances and awkward bits of social interactions, Hartman's research and practice sit at the intersection of design research, participatory art, and human-computer interaction. Through the use of wearable technologies, electronic textiles, and digital fabrication techniques, Hartman explores new possibilities for expressive, tactile, and embodied interactions.
