  Amit Zoran is a post-doc in the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab. He holds a PhD and an MS in Media Arts and Science from the MIT Media Lab, an MDes in product design from Bezalel, and a BSc in Communication System Engineering from Ben-Gurion University, Israel. In his work and research, Zoran explores the two divergent realms of emerging computational technologies and traditional hand-hewn skills. He wishes to develop a new way of thinking about these polarities: the digital machine, as generator of control and efficacy, and the human hand, as preserver of subjective intentions and expressivity.
