Research Interests
Lucian’s research interrogates hybrid realities, sensors, embodied interactions, generative ai, and digital cultures, through critical practice-based research.
Lucian is a Principal Designer for the School of Designs CODE, leading the design team on a Games4Change project which aims to reshape Aotearoa's Plastics Ecosystem towards circularity, in collaboration with polymer engineering, science and business teams from the University of Auckland.
Recently Lucian, Dr Tom Penney and Caleb Noller created an Art-Game "The Dark Forest", to be presented at ISEA 2024 "Everywhen".

Lucian collaborated with PhD Researcher Quynh Nhu Bui on a series of AR Games interrogating intangible cultural heritage in Vietnam as it evolves in response to the pressures of globalisation. The project was recently exhibited at Vietnam's Festival of Creativity and Design, with a framework of design findings to be presented at ISEA 2024 "Everywhen".
