Ryan Pescatore Frisk is a design researcher, developer, co-founder, and partner of Strange Attractors Design (2001), a trans-disciplinary research studio known for its experimental and nonconformist approach to critical design practices. Ryan is a member of the Visual and Digital Cultures Research Center (ViDi) at the University of Antwerp and a research lecturer in Commercial Practices focusing on the areas of Branding/Visual & Material Ideologies and Context & Situatedness at WdKA in Rotterdam. As an award-winning designer and cultural anthropologist, Ryan explores how humans ‘make sense’ of the world through producing, using, and misusing our visual and material landscapes, and often in the development of literal ‘tools’ that are required to contest current realities or develop possible futures.
