Rich MacDonald majored in computer science at Dartmouth College and received his MFA for Photography and Digital Imaging at Maryland Institute College of Art. He has worked as a computer security researcher at PKI Labs, a graduate research coordinator at MICA and as a photographer for a bronze-age archaeological excavation in Albania. Rich loves wrapping his head around complex systems and tackling technological puzzles collaboratively, especially those in intersections of science and art. He has recently been exploring photographic parallels to surveying and map-making; he is interested in how such hybrid techniques can capture different models of visual perception than traditionally possible with single-viewpoint photography.
