Sean Montgomery is a new media artist, professor and engineer in New
York City. Sean is generally interested in the intersection between art, science,
technology, and entrepreneurship and how this dynamic cross-section pushes together
ideas from diverse sources to create emergent phenomena of new possibilities. While
finishing his Ph.D. in neuroscience, Sean began to consider the fact that from the
perspective of a neuron inside the human brain, both a cold winter day and the
embrace of a loved one feels like a sequence of electrical impulses. Thinking about
the development of new technologies as a lens to let viewers trace back to their own
biological existence and reflect on their most basic connection to the world around
them, Sean looks forward to exploring how technology can enhance our understanding
of ourselves and create new ways for people to interact with one another and the
objects around them.
