Theo Watson & Emily Gobeille Projects

British born artist and programmer Theo Watson met motion graphics director Emily Gobeille while attending the design and technology MFA program at Parsons. They went on to collaborate across a number of projects including RISE AND FALL, an interactive animated story, which users are able to control through the use of a real world object, in this case a magazine cover.

Theo has been influential in the development of openFrameworks, which collaborated on the ground-breaking EyeWriter initiative. The project has gone on to win the FutureEverything Award 2010, the Brit Insurance Interactive Award 2010 by London’s Design Museum and a Golden Nica at Prix Ars Electronica 2010. His work has been shown at MoMA, Tate Modern, Ars Electronica, The Sundance Film Festival, Res Fest, REMF, Cinekid, Montevideo, OFFF, SHIFT, ICHIM, The Creators Series, Deitch Projects, Eyebeam, Pixel Gallery, and Museum N8 Amsterdam.

Emily has been working as a designer for the past nine years. Working in motion graphics, concept development, interaction design and user interaction, her experience in design spans many disciplines, including web, print, TV, wireless platforms and installations. Clients include U2, Onitsuka Tiger and Nickelodeon to name a few.
