Gene Felice is a graduate student at the University of California Santa Cruz. He is enrolled in the DANM (Digital Arts and New Media) program and is currently working with OpenLab and the Mechatonics Research Group to develop his project Oceanic Scales. He currently divides his research between: Art, Design & Education.
