Build interactive media installations that immerse viewers in designed environments.

Frontiers of utopia is the piece exhibited at MediaLab. In it it combines archival materials and databases. In this piece that questions the idealism of Margaret Mead's notion of transmigratory culture, users have the option of interacting with eight reconstructed characters: an elderly Russian revolutionary immigrant and an American peasant girl from the 1900s; a liberal designer and an Aboriginal maid from the 1920s; a hippie and a political activist from the sixties; as well as an astrophysicist and a computer engineer from the 90s. Scott provides its users with access to different points of view and historical periods through touch screens.
