Hi! I'm Libby Odai
I am a “creative technologist” (essentially a creative practitioner who uses technology) and rollerskating performer.
With my work I aim to blend traditionally “feminine” crafts, such as crochet and dance, with the “masculine” digital as a form of community activism.
Community engagement is a touchstone of my work, and I strive for greater equality and accessibility in my practice. I use community-led engagement to form the basis of my work.
During my working process I aim to I hope to educate and empower communities to devise their own algorithmic systems and break the mold of the “default” in technology in terms of race, class, gender and sexuality.
Available to hire for your digital projects!
Whether you need a robotic mascot or an AI performer, I can take you from prototyping to full project deilvery.
