| Biography
David Small heads the Lab's new Design Ecology research group. He is interested in the intersection of design and technology, and his work creates visual communication that incorporates new display and computational technologies, novel software techniques, and perceptual and cognitive issues.
Small received his PhD and MS in media arts and sciences, and his BS in cognitive science, all from MIT. He began his studies of dynamic typography in three-dimensional landscapes as a student of the late Muriel Cooper, founder of MIT's Visible Language Workshop. He was also a member of John Maeda's Aesthetics and Computation Group. Small's thesis, Rethinking the Book, examined how digital media, in particular the use of three-dimensional and dynamic typography, will change the way designers approach large bodies of information. His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, Documenta11, the Centre Pompidou, and the Copper-Hewitt National Design Museum. He is the principal and founder of Small Design Firm, Inc.
