ADVANCED INTERACTION RESIDENCY: AIR

Our Advanced Interaction Residency (AIR) hosts seasoned industry leaders at our beautiful new location in Bergamo. 
‍
The residency focuses on forward-thinking questions in human-computer interaction, with a special emphasis on AI and physical computing. Residents engage in collaborative, interdisciplinary applied research and design, working closely with CIID students and faculty to create innovative solutions and advancements in how people interact with technology.
‍
The Advanced Interaction Residency (AIR) is for those who want to take an active pause in their career to explore something they believe is both interesting and important. The CIID studio is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and hosts a constant flow of creative people from all over the world - enabling in-depth conversations and the development of ideas.
‍
Our intention is for the format of this residency to evolve along with those who contribute, participate and inspire new thinking.

A call for Advanced Interaction Residents will be announced in the not too distant future. If you feel this would be an interesting opportunity for you, please contact us.

We are thrilled to announce that Hector Ouilhet will be our first Advanced Interaction Resident. Known to be a trail-blazer, in his time at CIID he will focus on The Future of Design in the Era of AI. We will share the output of Hector’s residency as his research, prototypes and/or solutions unfold.

With 20+ years of experience, Hector has previously worked at HP, MIT, Google and Dropbox. He graduated from Interaction Design Institute Ivrea which is where he and the Founders of CIID first became entangled.
‍
In his career, he has transformed how billions of people communicate via technology. We are very much looking forward to this collaboration - and this new chapter - for Hector and for CIID.
