I am Michaella 🌜 Moon. I am a multidisciplinary 🎨 artist, 🎻 musician, 💻 developer, creative technologist, 🔧 engineer and coder. I wear many 🎩 hats and my practice involves me in many different genres of 🤹 performances, 💾 computer software, 💡 installations and products. I come from a 🎼 classical music and 💃 dance background and enjoy incorporating elements such as 🎤 live acoustical instruments/timbres and movement to my multidisciplinary projects! ... but ✨ jazzing them up with some 🔮 sensors and 🖼 generative visuals!
