Daniel Goddemeyer (MA Interaction Design, RCA, London): Daniel Goddemeyer is a researcher and strategic interaction designer who works at the intersection of people, technology, design and urban space and focuses in his work on exploring their future connections, interdependencies and interactions with each other.
He is specifically interested in how ubiquitous technology, connectivity and data will affect, impact and shape our behaviors and culture in urban space in the coming years and, most of all, what new future opportunities this may hold.
During his past career he has been working at Antenna Design, IDEO, Future Farmers and Artefact among others.
He is currently teaching the class ‘Urban Fictions’ at New York City’s School of Visual Arts that explores and speculates about the impacts of ubiquitous technology and data on our interactions with one another and cities and has been a frequent speaker at conferences such as Epic and IDSA.
