Top SchoolHeidi Boisvert is an interdisciplinary new media artist, creative technologist, and academic who directs research and practice at the intersection of AI, embodied experience, and social change. As Associate Professor of AI and the Arts at the University of Florida and founder/CEO of futurePerfect lab, she builds playful, media-rich interventions and tools with nonprofits and cultural institutions to provoke civic reflection and policy impact. Her work spans award‑nominated games and early 3D social-change experiences—like ICED I Can End Deportation and America 2049—alongside open biocreative experiments from her XTH startup. Trained with a PhD in Electronic Arts from RPI and experience at MIT Open Doc Lab and the Norman Lear Center, she combines rigorous scholarship on neuroaesthetics and affect with hands-on design. Notably, she weaves literary and theatrical sensibilities into technical projects, treating the body and senses as central computational inputs for social transformation.
