Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTara Pattenden is a multidisciplinary director, artist and creative technologist with eight years of focused experience building interactive media, sound and performance works that foreground play and unexpected, "clumsy" interfaces. She founded Cyber Palace and previously led Elektrolab, creating inclusive maker spaces and running workshops that bridge hardware, creative coding and immersive software like TouchDesigner and Unreal Engine. As a tutor and lecturer at RMIT and Griffith University she develops curricula in interaction design, audio/video production, Python and electronics while also designing custom electronic instruments for Phantom Chips and live performance. Her practice blends freelance digital design and web development with internationally exhibited art and residencies, revealing a rare mix of pedagogical rigor, hands-on hardware skill and experimental arts research (now pursuing a PhD on absurdist costume-based instruments). Based in Queensland, she brings a maker’s ethos to UX, interactive systems and community-driven creative technology.
