Hi, I’m Maria Paula Saba, a Master candidate from the NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program. I’m from Rio de Janeiro, where I studied visual and industrial design. I have also studied one semester in Germany and worked in Princeton for the UX group at Siemens Corporate Research.

I’m interested in creative computing, data visualization and human computer interaction – specially the non-traditional ones. I believe technology has a great power of changing people’s behavior and attitudes and we should take advantage of that for a social good.

In this blog, I will document my work at ITP, categorized in the classes I had so far:

Spring 2013:
- Nature of Code
- Design Expo
- Energy
- Emerging Processes in Video Art
- Assistive Technology
- Advanced Animation

Fall 2012:
- Physical Computing
- Computational Media
- Web
- Video & Sound
