Dr. Josh Eisenberg

I am the chief technology officer of MyFi Studio, a multimedia studio that makes electronic music instruments, toys, and art.

:)

Before MyFi, I was the Director of Artie's NFT + AI Lab. Even further back, I researched my Ph.D. dissertation on computational understanding of narrative structure, at Florida International University's School of Computing and Information Sciences.

Research Interests

I spend most of my time programming electronic music instruments, toys, tools for making art + media. I use these intstruments and tools for performing irl and on the internet. I sell these tools and media created with them.

Previously I focused on the computational understanding of narrative and conversational dialogue. I used these findings to make fun video games and dynamic NFTs. I think it's interesting to computationally simulate the understanding of stories + language.
