Ramy Khair
Artist-researcher in computational media and spatial visual communication.
Work
Selected work across interactive systems, aerial imaging, and computational research. The following investigations examine how images transition from representation to perceptual experience — each case study tests a different condition of perception, algorithmic transformation, embodied interaction, and aerial spatial viewing, forming a unified inquiry into how media constructs spatial understanding.
Interactive Spatial Systems
A Responsive Spatial Typography System.
Interactive Systems
Interactive Systems presents a series of computational and interactive works that explore motion, perception, and emergence through real-time visual systems.
Aerial / Spatial Imaging
This category gathers a series of experimental imaging studies using aerial perspective as an analytical instrument.
Computational Imaging
Computational Imaging explores images that are not captured by a camera but produced through rules, measurements, and temporal reconstruction.
Research Framework
Practice-Based Research
Perception and trust in computationally transformed images.
Interactive Media Systems
Behavioral interaction and temporal participation.
Computational Visual Systems
Image formation, processing, and mediated interpretation.
Spatial Imaging
Scale, environment, and embodied viewpoint.
Teaching & Academic Profile
Media practice as a method of inquiry.
Studio production and critical analysis operate together, allowing students to test ideas through making. Courses emphasize experimentation, iterative development, and adaptability across motion, interactive, and spatial media. The goal is to develop designers who can reason about systems, not only produce artifacts.

About
Ramy Khair is an Associate Professor and artist-researcher in computational media and spatial visual communication. He builds practice-based media systems — computational imaging, interactive installations, and aerial/spatial studies — to study how viewpoint, motion, and mediation shape meaning. His work translates perception and interaction into responsive visual form.
