Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg
Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg is a designer, artist and researcher interested in the future. She uses design to explore the implications of emerging and unfamiliar technologies, science and services. She has an MA in Design Interactions from the Royal College of Art, a degree in Architecture from Cambridge University, and spent a year at Harvard University as a Herchel Smith scholar. Daisy recently completed a residency at Symbiotica, the art and science collaborative laboratory at the University of Western Australia. Recent projects include E.chromi, a collaboration with James King and Cambridge University’s grand prize winning team at the 2009 International Genetically Engineered Machines competition (www.echromi.com) and a science fiction short story for Icon magazine, UK, co-written with SymbioticA’s Oron Catts. Her work is currently exhibited in the Wellcome Trust’s windows in London, curated by Dunne Raby. Daisy is now Design Fellow on the
EPSRC/NSF-funded research project, Synthetic Aesthetics (www.syntheticaesthetics.org), between Stanford and Edinburgh universities, bringing together synthetic biology and design.
