Michael Fowler (he/they) is a Vancouver ex-pat currently residing in Tallinn, Estonia. Holding a Graphic Design MA from the Estonian Academy of Arts, as well as a BDes in Interaction Design (Minor: SPACE/Social Practice and Community Engagement) from Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver. Their design practice spans performance, sound art, graphic/interaction design, generative design research, illustration, and sculpture. Embracing absurdity and play as a means of investigation, Fowler’s practice leans into queer identity emboldened and discovered through virtual communities and online roleplaying, avatar culture, online subculture, cosplay, and collaborative world-building.
