Simon Penny is an artist, theorist and teacher with a longstanding focus on emerging technologies and on embodied and situated aspects of artistic practice, working with the question of how to build systems that attend to bodily affect and embodied experience. He has built interactive installations and robotic art since the mid 1980s. He explores – in artistic and scholarly work and in technical research – problems encountered when computational technologies interface with cultural practices, and the ways in which making things can be a form of critical interrogation, an interest that is pursued more recently through a focus on “critical craft practice.”
