Hello! I’m Lauren Cason - award winning Technologist, Artist & Creative Director, working at the intersection of art, entertainment, technology, and play.
I got my start over a decade ago making squishy virtual objects while interning at the MIT Game Lab. My work spans XR immersive theatre, site specific augmented reality, interactive installations, prototyping teams, platform-perfect games, emotion-driven VR, and experimental storytelling. Previously, I worked at places like Meow Wolf, Apple,UsTwo, and In 2021, I cofounded Refract Studio, where we make all kinds of interesting emerging technology things for clients like Snap Inc, Google Arts and Culture, and Space10 . I’m interested in creating artful shared experiences using experimental technologies, forgotten analogue technologies, and occasionally no technologies at all. Sometimes,I also give talks. Want to chat? Work together? Drop me a line.
