Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolElliot Woods is a multidisciplinary technologist and artist with 15 years building interactive media, projection-driven installations, and experimental architectures as co-director of The Distortion Field and co-founder of Kimchi and Chips. Trained as a physicist (MPhys, University of Manchester), he blends numerical physics, optics and projector control with hands-on software work to create immersive, site-specific experiences. His open-source contributions to projects like openFrameworks and the vvvv SDK show deep familiarity with creative coding, 3D camera systems, build tooling and dependency management. Elliot has led R&D and company operations for ventures exploring volumetric and spatial imaging, demonstrating both technical leadership and investor-facing experience. Based in Stevenage, he curates cross-disciplinary programs (ScreenLab) that bring artists into university media labs, underlining his interest in community-facing research. Not obvious from titles alone, he consistently operates at the intersection of low-level graphics engineering and high-concept contemporary art practice.
