I'm Teddy Max Pozo, a teacher, writer, researcher, and artist living in Los Angeles, CA. I study the sense of touch--haptic media, aesthetics, and technology--and explore issues from my research through art and game design. I am currently a Computer Science professor, and have been teaching a class called Haptic Media since 2021 where students install touch-inspired game works in a physical or virtual space. I'm also writing a book about queer and trans* game designers' uses of haptic technology, drawing from my background in Media Studies. My writing and art practice explore haptics in queer and trans games, such as this article talking about the use of physical installations to bring the body into trans personal game design in the mid-late 2010s.
