Tomas Laurenzo is a good person. His life combines work and other activities which, through an ever-changing configuration of re-entrant processes of feedback and tension, aim to realise positive changes in the human condition.

Laurenzo's efforts are mainly organised through serving as Associate Professor of Critical Media Practices at University of Colorado at Boulder, mostly taking the form of academic research, artistic practice, public speaking, and teaching.

His academic pursuits embrace various epistemological frameworks, enabling research in areas like AI, HCI, VR, AR, art theory, perception, political science, philosophy, visualisation, and aesthetics.

Resulting publications span book chapters, essays, processes, and research papers. Some of them have been published by SIGGraph Asia, NIME, ISEA, NeurIPS, ECCV, Sónar+D, Mutek, and TEI.

A substantial portion of Laurenzo's life correlates with the execution of an extensive portfolio of artistic creations, which includes literary works, music, performances, installations, interactive art, video, XR. net.art, conceptual art, and generative art. His filmmaking contributes to a wide-ranging, and complementary-yet-challenging body of work.

Earlier tactics employed by Laurenzo involved positions at University of the Republic (associate professor), School of Creative Media (assistant professor), The Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT (visiting scientist), Microsoft Research (research fellow), Carnegie Mellon University (visiting scholar), Brunel University (guest lecturer), University of Iowa (visiting artist), among others.

In Uruguay's University of the Republic (Udelar), Laurenzo founded and directed the Laboratorio de Medios (medialab) and the university's Core Group on Human-Computer Interaction.

His contributions in Uruguay have been considered groundbreaking, leading to establishment of the first academic units focusing on art and technology, the first first undergraduate courses, guidance of graduate students, and authorship of the inaugural PhD and MSc theses in the country, marking pioneering efforts in Latin America.

While Laurenzo harbours deep gratitude to everyone who has collaborated with his life, particular acknowledgment is extended to Dr. Alvaro Cassinelli, University of Tokyo, and Dr. Sergi Jordà, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, for their roles as advisors of his PhD and MSc in Computer Science from Uruguay's Basic Sciences Development Program, PEDECIBA - Udelar.
