Melody Ling

Melody Ling is a multimedia and interaction designer, as well as a speculative and critical mediator, whose practice sits at the intersection of interaction design, media art, critical theories, and emerging technologies. Applying human-centered design and speculative/critical evaluation as methods, she aims at using design to mediate behaviors and empower human beings through embodied experiences, while reflecting on current trends and a better technology-mediated future.

Melody works across a multitude of media, including digital applications, physical computing, interactive videos, embodied interfaces, installations, writing, and sound design. Using theory and making as the two pillars of her design morale, her personal research and artistic practices focus on the techno-bio and digital augmentations of contemporary human identities, and how might design intervenes by giving agency back to human beings.
