About the Author Christopher W Robbins Rhode Island School of Design For the past decade, Christopher Robbins has been working on the often uneasy cusp of international development, participatory art, and cross-cultural technology. He built his own hut out of mud and sticks and lived in it while serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Benin, West Africa, spoke at a United Nations conference about his cross-cultural digital arts and education work in the South Pacific, and has lived and worked in London, Tokyo, West Africa, the South Pacific, and the Balkans. Awards include NYFA Fiscal Sponsorship, RISD Award of Excellence, SITINGS Installation Commission, the Stein Experiential Art Prize, and residencies/ fellowships at Skowhegan, MacDowell Colony, Haystack, Penland, Anderson Ranch, the Kala Art Institute, and the Nebraska Art Farm. He grew up in New York City, and currently splits his time between Serbia and New York. | |
