ABOUT

Hi! My name is Adeline (Ah-deh-leen), and I’m an immersive experience designer, interdisciplinary artist and designer, video/projection designer, and creative technologist.

I’m exploring immersive, experiential interaction and sensory storytelling. I’m interested in how we learn and engage through all our senses, and especially in haptics/tactility, proxemics, motion, and peripheral vision… all building on my background in experimental animation, drawing, visual music, and video design.

As an Imagineer (2014-2021), I was a Video Media Designer/VFX Designer with a focus on projection mapping and technical video integration (including in-field installation) for attractions in the US, Hong Kong, and Japan. I also worked as a conceptual SFX designer on an in-development attraction for Japan.

During my MFA (2021 – 2024), I designed, engineered, and installed immersive and new media projects for a STEM Museum, art museums, and art galleries.

I have designed and performed as a VJ and video designer in Estonia, including Tallinn Music Week (2013 and 2014), Estonian Music Days (2013), and Stalker Festival (2014), and in the US at venues including REDCAT and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, California. I have also exhibited at the Grand Rapids Art Museum (2023), and screened films in national and international film festivals.

I have a BFA in Experimental Animation from CalArts (2012) and an MFA in Studio Art (with a focus on Interdisciplinary Art and Design) from Michigan State University (2024).

I am also a studio artist and independent researcher, and you can check out my artwork here at adelinenewmann.art!
