Teaches at El Camino College

Chris Weisbart is a designer and artist working in Los Angeles.  He is responsible for designing and building numerous interactive exhibits at museums across the country and at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, where he worked for almost 10 years.  His work developing an internal hacker space and development lab at the Natural History Museum known as “The Bat cave” has garnered him various television, web and speaking appearances discussing the incredible technological capabilities available to modern do-it-yourselfers.  Chris is also a multimedia artist whose work parallels and uses many of the DIY topics he uses in his design practice. Lately, his work revolves around creating unique installations for educational and art institutions that use optical phenomena and projection to coerce visitors into interacting with technology.

Raphael Arar is an award-winning artist, designer and technologist whose work seeks to trace the trajectories of interpersonal and intrapersonal interaction in light of progress. These works manifest themselves in a variety of forms encompassing a synthesis of nostalgia and novelty often informed by scientific systems and humanistic research. His artwork has been shown at museums, conferences, festivals and galleries internationally including the ZKM Center for Art & Media, Espoo Museum of Modern Art, International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA), Gamble House Museum, Boston Cyberarts Gallery, and Athens Video Art Festival.

Shimonee Kadakia is a full-time astronomy instructor at El Camino College with a B.A. in Math and Physics from UC Irvine and an M.A. in Astronomy from SDSU.  She is passionate about astronomy and even more passionate about transferring her knowledge and love of the “stars and skies” to her students.   Don’t miss her planetarium show and lively scientific “corrections” of the faux-astronomy presented in Forbidden Planet!
