Jackie Lee is a ITRI/NEXT Fellow at MIT Media Laboratory. He interested
in augmenting everyday objects and interactive arts. He was born in Taipei near
the one of the famous nightmarket in Taiwan- Tong-Hua Nightmarket. He studied
Architecture at National Cheng Kung University for his Bachelor and Master degree.
His invention- Lover's
Cups were reported on major scientific and design publications, such as
Discovery
Channel , National Geographic (to appear),
New
Scientists, and CHI
2006. His latest invention- HiTV project
(with Hyemin and Chaochi) will be presented in SIGGRAPH
2006. He is currently a Ph.D researcher at MIT
Media Laboratory.

Hyemin is a Human-Computer Interaction researcher in the Electronic Publishing
Group at MIT Media Laboratory. She co-invents the Lover's
Cups (with Jackie) and HiTV
(with Chaochi and Jackie). She is currently working on the GlobalMind,
the largest multilingual commonsense project. She is also interested in designing
sensor networks. Before coming to MIT, she studied computer science and engineering
in Seoul National University in Korea. She worked as a researcher at ICU Digital
Media Lab, Korea.
Michael
Chia-Liang Lin
MIT Architecture
mcllin@mit.edu
Michael is a master candidate at MIT Architecture. He had two-year experience
for doing food business in one of the most famous night-marketplace in Tang-shiu.
He loves to think about design in various ways and resolves their ambiquity
logically. He will bring his both Architecture perspectives and nightmarket
experience to enrich this workshop.

Francis is a pixel-art and web artist
interested in the aesthetics and social patterns of online spaces. Prior to
coming to the MIT Media Lab he got a BS in computer science from the Chinese
University of Hong Kong and a BA in design from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Alongside of his study, he has developed interests in various art and design
domains. In 2000, he created an online design playground (http://db-db.com)
as an outlet for his creative talent, and a platform to connect like-minded
individuals. His work has been featured in various publications and exhibited
worldwide including, Hong Kong, Japan, Austria and USA.

Yi-Hsiang Chao
MIT Architecture
yihsiang@mit.edu
Daniel is interested in cultural patchworks which can be treated as alternative
strategies to architecture and urban design. To him, architecture includes not
only functional buildings fixed on the ground but also art forms penetrate the
urban spaces. He believes in multidisciplinary practice, operating in the space
between architecture, art, and landscape. Recently, He is doing research on
architectural scale issues.
