Aste Amundsen

Aste Amundsen works in a range of creative, design and production roles across interactive theatre, immersive events, festivals, games and technology. A background from alternative/autonomous culture and a scenography education unite in a practice spanning experience-design, narrative-environments and digital-dramaturgy. Transformative worldbuilding and immersion for audience mobilisation are running themes in her work. Aste founded start-up Computer Aided Theatre to build a platform for data-augmenting live, actor-to-audience interaction and innovate human-centred interaction design. She is currently a Fellow of Immersion with the South West Creative Technology Network. Her research explores the challenges and possibilities of profiling-for-personalisation within live immersive events.
