Nina M. Lutz is a Phoenix-born computer scientist and designer. She holds a B.Sc in Computer Science and Design from MIT. She graduated with her MS in 2021.
Where many computer scientists want to make computers think more like people, Lutz aims to use computers to remind us to think of other people. Especially people who may not look like us. Lutz's methods in doing this reconsider the design and technology choices around the exploration of human identity through technology and art.
Lutz considers her work a love letter between computer science and art. She leverages computational and artistic methods in the form of interactive experiences and creative technologies that are empowering and imaginative.
Below are some of her projects and projects she has been part of at the lab.
