Dominic Harris (born November 16, 1976) is a British artist and architect primarily concerned with interaction, video, and light.

Background

Dominic Harris was born in London on 16 November 1976, and grew up in London, Brussels, and Michigan before returning to London in 1995. Harris attended the Cranbrook Kingswood Upper School, and then trained as an architect at the Bartlett School of Architecture, and has been ARB registered since 2011.[1]

Harris designs and fabricates his artworks at Cinimod Studio, a multi-disciplinary practice he founded in 2007. This studio consists of 26 people with diverse backgrounds including architecture, product design, electronics, programming, graphic design, and workshop skills.[2]

Harris uses the resources of Cinimod Studio for the on-going development, prototyping and production of his artworks. Harris also oversees the studio’s international projects where his fascinations are translated into larger scale projects that span residential, retail, and public art projects.[3] In 2015, Harris was granted permission by the Walt Disney Company to use their Intellectual Property for the purpose of making new interactive artworks.[4]
