Affect Browser - Christian Nold


Christian Nold

Christian Nold is an artist, designer and educator working to develop new participatory models for communal representation.

This website unifies all the strands of my work, from participatory art projects, critical writing as well as new media and physical computing teaching.

Some of my larger projects like Bio Mapping the Brentford Biopsy, the Paris East Emotion Map, the Stockport Emotion Map, the Newham Sensory Deprivation Map, the Silvertown Affect Map, the project Strange Weather, the San Francisco Emotion Map and Greenwich Emotion Map have their own sites.

I am keen to collaborate with individuals, groups and institutions that are interested in social, political and environmental innovation.
