Tim Smith: Work, Involvements and Interests
For as long as I can remember I have been obsessed with the topics of randomness, complexity, individuation, simplicity, learning, cognition, psychology, brains, memory and knowledge. I’ve been lucky to spend many decades studying, working and creating around these topics in various segments of the cognitive sciences, arts and humanities.
I have several active areas of research, design and long-term projects: Software environments supporting the exploration of dynamic complex systems, installation art, projection mapping, autobiographical writing, photography, lifelong learning, knowledge engineering, note-taking, tutoring systems, personal knowledge agents, intelligent database design, applied AI, memory, personality formation, enriched learning environments, travel, culture exploration; interdisciplinary, associative and integrative learning, entrepreneurial lifelong learning, psychology, neuroscience.
