Kelly Dobson grew up in a junkyard. From the age of four she was doing odd jobs such as smashing windows and hauling machine parts from one area of the yard to another. Later, studying medicine and art, Dobson became focused on alternative approaches to machines approaching them as relational and reflective objects. Working in the realms of art, design, engineering and social and critical theory, she has developed the domain of Machine Therapy while earning a Masters of Science degree from MIT’s Visual Studies Program in 2000 and a PhD from the MIT Media Lab in 2007.
Her current work combines research in digital signal processing and machine learning, technology and society studies, and art and therapy. She builds empathic machines such as Blendie , Wearable Body Organs such as ScreamBody, and organizes engagements with existing culturally implicated machines. She is currently a visiting assistant professor at Cornell University in the Department of Architecture, Art & Planning.
