Prof Jeffrey Shaw

Prof Jeffrey Shaw is a pioneer of new media art whose work spans expanded cinema, virtual and augmented reality, immersive visualisation, and interactive narrative. A central figure in the field since the 1960s, his seminal installations have co-constructed the genre and been exhibited at institutions like the Centre Pompidou, Guggenheim Museum, and Stedelijk Museum. Widely cited in media theory, Prof. Shaw’s career highlights include the Ars Electronica Golden Nica for Visionary Pioneer (2015) and the ACM SIGGRAPH Distinguished Artist Award for Lifetime Achievement (2020). " For me, design is an embodied dialogue between the participant, technology, and cultural space. Innovation emerges when cross-disciplinary collaboration transforms passive viewing into active co-creation, using interactive media and spatial computing to bridge human perception with immersive narrative environments and inspire meaningful cultural breakthroughs.
