Information

Renaise is a brand + product designer working across culture + venture in consumer media, creative tools, and deep tech. Founder of Codex Foundry, an applications platform. Creative director of Artifice NYC, a curatorial research nonprofit. Founder and creative director of Studio Artifice, a commercial studio.

Renaise's focus is on open curatorial research and showcasing artifice: the artifacts of science fiction. The practice runs web to world, where a project starts as a website or an interface and ends as an installation. Research and speculation are built together, so a made-up artifact tests the idea before the real system exists.
