Will Freudenheim

Will Freudenheim is a game designer and researcher based in New York whose work creates experimental virtual environments that bring together human, artificial, and biological participants. Drawing from both game design and experimental music composition, he integrates interaction and play into digital animation processes. Currently developing "Biotopy", a biodigital project connecting a physical bioreactor with Unreal Engine, Will's work with Laser Days has produced interactive performances, digital puppets, and physical installations.
Will holds a Master's degree in Media Studies from MIT and is the editor of Interplay, a book about game engines, machine creativity, and inter-species collaborative design. His projects cultivate shared digital worlds as spaces for play, collaboration, and knowledge production, and have been featured at game festivals, art galleries, film festivals, and universities worldwide.
