Integrated researcher at CICANT, Universidade Lusófona (https://doi.org/10.54499/CEECINST/00002/2021/CP2788/CT0006). Artist, computer scientist, and digital animation researcher, his primary focus lies in exploring the representation of the human body through algorithmic processes. Serving as the Principal Investigator for the Ghost Dance project (DOI 10.54499/EXPL/ART-PER/1238/2021), he focuses on analyzing dance movement in interaction with virtual reality. Formerly a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow with affiliations at MIRALab, University of Geneva, and BioISI, Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, he has received sponsorship from prestigious institutions like the European Research Agency and the Foundation for Science and Technology. His expertise in animating human movement has led to a diverse research career spanning academia, including Lusófona University, University of London, University of Geneva, University of Lisbon - Faculty of Sciences, and Faculty of Human Kinetics. Additionally, he co-founded and served as the Chief Technology Officer of AnabiVirtual, a spin-off company dedicated to developing interactive experiences involving augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) for cultural sites. He earned his Ph.D. in Computational Arts and Technologies from Goldsmiths, University of London, bridging the realms of art, science, and technology. His journey as a visual artist began in the early 1990s at Ar.Co in Lisbon, Portugal. Notably, his work was awarded in the VIDA competition for art and artificial intelligence (editions 12 and 13). His contributions extend to various publications, including Preble's Artforms book, the scientific magazine ALife, Leonardo Electronic Magazine, and several art catalogues.

Elliot Hartley is the Managing Director of Garsdale Design, and an internationally recognised 3D geodesign expert. He is also known as a pioneer and instructor in the use of Esri’s ArcGIS CityEngine for urban planning projects and 3D city modelling.

Elliot has had more than 20 years working in the fields of GIS, planning, 3D urban modelling and geodesign. He has spent some of that time working as a Senior Planner in private practice, as well as a Development Control officer within local authority planning Departments.

He has consulted for and trained teams in some of the world’s leading planning and architectural consultancies in Europe, North America, and the Middle East. In addition, he has also provided training and services for local government/city authorities in Europe, North America, and the Middle East.

As a subject matter expert in 3D urban modelling Elliot has spoken and conducted workshops/webinars/seminars at many international events on topics of planning, 3D urban modelling and geodesign.
