Adam is a new media artist, theorist, instructor, and PhD Candidate at the University of California, Davis. He designs and builds alternative interfaces and media systems with extended reality, haptic, and artificial intelligence technologies. Through this work, Wright seeks to evaluate and challenge established notions of embodiment and human perceptual sense-making that take place in the interface between the body and perceptual technologies. He thinks about what it means to be an adaptive embodied human embedded in and entangled with digital systems. His PhD research utilizes user interface design, alternative controller practices, experimental engineering, computer science, media theory, and disability theory. In addition, he has a fascination with performativity
in modern forms of information subterfuge. He teaches a reoccurring VR course at University of California, Davis in the Cinema and Digital Media department. Despite multiple careers in various forms of media manipulation and digital technology and enduring passion for the medium, Adam only uses social media sporadically. He plays guitar, bass guitar, and keyboards-and composes and records music in different genres.
