Hi! I'm Metis Christodoulou (she/they), an interactive artist, activist, and professor. I received my BFA in Game and Interactive Media Design from Northeastern University in 2019. After graduating, I explored several ludological avenues in the games industry. I began teaching Game Development Essentials at Bunker Hill Community College (and still teach there), leading the mechanical design on Mazu, and consulting as a freelance game analyst. When Covid struck I decided to use my skillset to help people directly, leading teams at medical clinics and using my UI/UX knowledge to improve workflows. While I have since left the medical field to persue art again, my time in the industry has driven much of my current artistic and activist endevours.
In addition to my BFA, I received minors in Japanese, East Asian Studies, and Computer Science. This background has directed my creative goals and allowed me to pursue solo projects that would have otherwise been out of my reach. After graduating I continued to seek out further education and have received several certificates in areas like mathematics, fashion design, and environmental studies. In the future I plan to persue a Masters in art, to further the depth of my artistic pursuits.
Currently I am exploring the world through the ethos of inclusive egocentrism; bettering myself through the production of art for myself alone, rather than taking trying to follow a cultural zeitgeist. Much of this work has taken the form of nebulously satirical social media posts, intentionally incomprehensible field recordings, stream of conciousness poetry, and procedural/AI generation.
