Christopher Cote is an Assistant Professor in the School of Design. His research investigates alternative publishing strategies through interactive installations and publications. By considering the context and dissemination methods of graphic design, his work engages broader audiences and examines cultural norms. Using public spaces and interactions as forms of publishing, he often subverts the intended purpose of the format. His work invites public participation, blurring the lines between creators and consumers. He self-publishes All—Ways—Open, a publication about place that revitalizes visual archives by using images as prompts for writers, whose compositions then become prompts for visual artists and designers.
