Hello!
I do research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, creativity and game design. I'm the creator of Puck and ANGELINA, AI game designers; the founder of PROCJAM, the Procedural Generation Jam; and an author of the MIT Press book Twitterbots. I also regularly design games and other weird digital experiences, which you can find here.
If you need to reach me, you can email me - mike at possibilityspace.org - or contact me on Twitter - @mtrc.
