Artistic Practice & Research
Liam Yehudai is a tech savvy film maker (creative technologist), designer, and interdisciplinary
artist whose work bridges studio art, physical computing, and immersive digital media,
but also people from all walks of life. His practice explores the intersection of
physical fabrication and virtual space, utilizing 3D spatial capture such as photogrammetry
and Gaussian Splatting (3d Scanning), interactive web technologies, custom hand made
electronics, and procedural audio-visual systems. Through kinetic sculptures, human-reactive
installations, and fun experimental game design, his work examines how technological
systems are at the center of human perception, play, and cognitive labor in the age
of artificial intelligence.
Professional & Academic Experience
Alongside his studio practice, for 6 years, Yehudai has worked as a Multimedia Specialist
and Graduate Assistant at Stony Brook University’s Teaching and Learning Lab. In this
role, he collaborates with faculty across disciplines to develop educational games,
interactive data visualizations, WebXR/AR/VR tools, and 3D scanning workflows. There,
he has also helped design websites for The WUSB Radio Station, The Long Island History
Journal, and Stories of Environmental and Climate Justice.
Additionally through Stony Brook’s Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) program, he also serves as an artistic designer and undergraduate mentor, co-developing an interactive installation and website that explores the history, mechanics, and scientific impact of Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Electron-Ion Collider (EIC).
Education
Yehudai is currently pursuing his Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) in Studio Art at Stony
Brook University, where he previously earned his B.A. in Studio Art and Media, Arts,
& Culture, with minors in Digital Arts and Art History.
