Ted Davis, 1983, is an American media artist and designer based in Basel, Switzerland, where he’s an interaction design lecturer and MDes program coordinator within the Visual Communication Institute at the Academy of Art and Design HGK FHNW. He holds a BA from California State University Chico and an MFA/MAS from UIC/HGK International Master of Design in Basel. His research activities include visual search and interfacing future image databases. His teaching focuses on design and image making via programming new and newer media, along with embracing the error and glitch, which question the ideal and mimetic conditions digital media is asked to encompass. Well versed in textual and visual programming languages for motion, print and web mediums, he empowers students to take hold of the computer’s ability to design possibilities beyond that of the hand or mouse.
