Design 21: Social Design Network

Zack Denfeld is a human living on spaceship earth. When his mom asks him what he does for a living he likes to make up funny names. This month it is deep information ecologist, and last month it was network entrepreneur.

He graduated with a B.A. in Policy Studies from the Maxwell School at Syracuse University, but received his most useful education making media art at the Dept. of Transmedia. Then he wandered into a M.F.A. from the University of Michigan's School of Art & Design.

Zack currently reside in Bangalore, India and is helping launch a Media Lab in India (CEMA) at Srishti School of Art, Design & Technology and writing a report on Emerging Economies for an Indian design company (CKS).

His research interests include Complex Systems, Design Ecology and Information Urbanism. Zack loves to cook soups, get lost in cities, and is slowly learning about the species of birds and plants native to the Western Ghats.
