Beautiful 2023 family pic from our group retreat with Sensorimotor Interaction, @AnnaFeit's Computational Interactions Group and a very inspiring guest Rachel Freire ❤️ We had 2 days full of talks, brainstorming sessions, activities and chill discussions to recharge everyone's batteries 🔋

We had a very fun Monday evening jam session this week with @courtneynreed1, Valentin Martinez-Missir and Jim Adler youtu.be/3FCumsTfFFA
