Seth Ellis is Assistant Professor in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.  He is a narrative artist and interface designer; his work draws upon local history, allegorical narrative and experience design to create stories both historical and fictional in new, experiential forms.  Such narratives, as designed experiences, use both physical and digital tools, including signage, locative media, video and audio.  Ellis’s projects have shown in galleries, streets, symposia and festivals throughout the U.S. and Europe, and at a few places in the Atlantic Ocean.  He has a B.A. from Yale University and an M.F.A. from Columbia University School of the Arts.
