Benjamin
Fry is a doctoral candidate at the MIT Media Laboratory. His research
focuses on methods of visualizing large amounts of data from dynamic
information sources. The work uses ideas from distributed and adaptive
systems to form organic representations that react and respond to the
input data. This work is currently directed towards Genomic Cartography
which is a study into new methods to represent the data found in the
human genome.
At MIT, he is a member of the Aesthetics and Computation Group, led
by John Maeda. Ben received an undergraduate degree from the School
of Design at Carnegie Mellon University, with a major in Graphic Design
and a minor in Computer Science.
