Colter Wehmeier

An interaction designer and researcher developing new strategies for participation, creativity, and collaboration in playable software, rooted in architectural media theory.

As a dual-PhD candidate at UIUC and the Cyprus Institute, I build platforms and frameworks that empower communities to engage with art, heritage, and each other in new ways. This practice applies across multiple scales: from developing community game launchers and AR art platforms to creating new participatory methods for cultural institutions.

In each project, I design the underlying technical and social structures that allow for emergent, co-created experiences. This work, advancing computational approaches for humanities research, is currently supported by the Fiddler Innovation Fellowship at NCSA.
