Connectivity Probes is a collaborative research project between the Networks and Telecommunications Research Group (NTRG) at Trinity College Dublin, the Human Connectedness Group at Media Lab Europe (MLE), and The Irish Higher Education Authority (HEA). It is led by Jonah Brucker-Cohen, and supervised by Dr. Linda Doyle (NTRG) and Dr. Stefan Agamanolis (MLE). Jonah Brucker-Cohen Jonah Brucker-Cohen is a researcher, artist, Ph.D. candidate, and HEA MMRP fellow in the Disruptive Design Team of the Networking and Telecommunications Research Group (NTRG), Trinity College Dublin. He was also a Research Fellow in the Human Connectedness Group at Media Lab Europe. He received a Masters from the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU and was an Interval Research Fellow there creating interactive networked projects. His work and thesis focuses on the theme of "Deconstructing Networks" which includes projects that attempt to critically challenge and subvert accepted perceptions of network interaction and experience. He is co-founder of the Dublin Art and Technology Association (DATA Group) and a recipient of the ARANEUM Prize sponsored by the Spanish Ministry of Art, Science and Technology and Fundacioin ARCO. His writing has appeared in numerous international publications including WIRED Magazine,Rhizome.org, and GIZMODO, and his work has been shown at events such as DEAF (03,04), SIGGRAPH (05), UBICOMP (02,03,04), CHI (04) Transmediale (02,04), ISEA (02,04), Institute of Contemporary Art in London (04), Whitney Museum of American Art's ArtPort (03), Ars Electronica (02,04), and the ZKM Museum of Contemporary Art (04-5).
