The Fields Find Their People

Nicolas asked whose research field aligns. This is the answer as the relational map it already is on the medicine wheel — the seven fields the film spans, matched to the people of his department. A dated snapshot (2026-08-15), not a final word.

The relational map
The film at center · the seven fields it spans (inner ring) · the people whose research holds them (outer ring). Click any name or field. Edge weight is alignment strength; the red dotted spoke is the field with no home.

Generative storytelling and responsive environments — urban-embedded cinema and screen-based reactive arts that respond to viewers and contexts; interactivity, intelligent images, hypercinema; spatialized, ubiquitous-computing approaches to experimental screen culture and future cinema. The supervisor-shaped match: Film Production is the department the principal supervisor must hold full-time.
