Are you interested in learning more about ITP but can't come to an admissions open house? Tune in to our Facebook Live broadcast! We will be interviewing faculty members Benedetta Piantella and Marina Zurkow. They will talk about their own interests, and also answer questions about ITP and the admissions process.

Benedetta Piantella is a designer turned humanitarian technologist. She has founded engineering R&D companies focused on producing sustainable solutions to social challenges worldwide and has designed, prototyped and deployed projects in countries such as Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. She is currently a full-time faculty member at NYU-ITP where she teaches Physical Computing and Engineering for Development.

Marina Zurkow is a media artist focused on near-impossible nature-culture intersections, researching “wicked problems” like invasive species and superfund sites. She uses biomaterials, animation, and software technologies to foster intimate connections between people and non-human agents, in gallery installations and participatory public projects. At ITP, she has been known to teach art and research, audio/video, alternative materials, and courses with animal and environmental focuses.
