Jill Fantauzza is an assistant professor in the School of Art and Design at Texas State University in the United States. While earning her Ph.D. in Digital Media at Georgia Institute of Technology, Jill developed her fine arts painting practice into a practice focusing on interactive technologies whether it be in art, design, or engineering contexts. This work includes augmented reality design, experiments with interactive and responsive smart materials, and interactive sculptures and textiles. Jill's research on patterns of creative practice across the art and engineering disciplines, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, earned her a Foley Scholarship for Research Excellence at Georgia Tech. While at Georgia Tech, Jill invented novel haptic technologies through an artwork. These inventions are currently under the patenting process through Georgia Tech. Jill was founding co-chair of the Digital Arts community at the ACM CHI conferences.
