Aga’s work in the field of creative technology and experiential design includes a variety of dynamic and unique projects from building giant gumball machines to musical soap dispensers to password protected cookie jars. His professional and artistic practices focus on designing and developing interactive experiences that explore the whimsical and downright comical areas of our lives.

OR through the reprogramming of our everyday sensory experiences.
