Hi. I’m Jamie Allen and I like to make things with my head and hands. These things involve peoples’ relationships to creativity, technology and resources – and mostly attempt to give people new, subversive and fun ways to interact with all of these. I am Head of Research at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design, where I help chart a course for research and experimentation at the institute, with colleagues in the Research team and Labs.ciid.dk. I am also a PhD candidate with the European Graduate School (Media & Communications). My own projects and events have been featured in a number of media outlets, including Wired.com and the New York Times. I am very grateful to have been supported and hosted by a number of international friends, festivals and venues, including:
