Greg J. Smith is a Toronto-based designer and researcher with interests in media theory, representation and digital culture.

Greg received a Masters in Architecture from al&d at the University of Toronto in 2007. His thesis project Movable Parts: The Retooling of the Los Angeles Times was a design proposal which speculated the spatial and programmatic implications of citizen journalism. He studied design at LAIAD and received a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of Toronto in 1999. In the fall of 2007 he taught a course on Interactive Digital Culture within the game development stream for the Department of Communications Studies and Multimedia at McMaster University.

Outside of his own "design research" blog Serial Consign, Greg has written and edited for various publications and websites including Rhizome, View on Canadian Art, Coupe and Textura. Since 2005, he has co-curated and edited Vague Terrain, an online digital arts quarterly.

He is currently working on Critical Sections, a database drawing project to be published shortly in Vectors, The Journal of Culture and Technology in a Dynamic Vernacular and a book chapter entitled "Information Visualization and Pervasive Interface Culture" which will be published in early 2009. Greg is an intern architect at Reigo & Bauer. [contact]
