Shirley Piotrowski is a Los Angeles based multimedia designer whose work investigates play as a form of resistance, exploration, and embodied knowledge. Her practice spans immersive audiovisual environments, tactile interfaces, and experimental systems that prioritize intuition over efficiency and curiosity over control.
Influenced by posthuman design theory, synesthetic perception, and biomorphic aesthetics, Piotrowski creates sensory-driven experiences that invite participants to engage through movement, touch, and sound. Her work explores alternative modes of interaction that challenge productivity-driven technologies and instead cultivate presence, ambiguity, and discovery.
