Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Swift is an Assistant Professor of Art & Design at Binghamton University who blends over a decade of professional design practice with academic research into how collaborative tools — especially machine learning and AI — shape creative processes. Trained with an MFA in Graphic Design, he has held senior design roles at institutions like RISD and Williams College and taught across multiple colleges, giving him a rare mix of studio, teaching, and institutional design experience. His work frequently merges traditional printmaking techniques (notably cyanotype) with digital projection and computational methods, as seen in the award-winning “Stop Making Sense” project. An active presenter at international conferences and exhibitions, he investigates the social and material networks of design rather than treating tools as neutral instruments. Colleagues value his ability to translate hands-on craft into critical, research-driven practice that informs both pedagogy and professional work. Based in Greater Binghamton, he continues to push graphic arts toward hybrid practices that foreground collaboration between humans and machines.
