About
Dr. Andrew Quitmeyer (@hikinghack)
is a hacker-adventurer studying interactions between wild animals and
computational devices. He left his job as a tenure-track professor at
the National University of Singapore to start his own field-station
makerspace in Gamboa, Panama. At Digital Naturalism Laboratories
(the Institute for Interactive Jungle Crafts) he blends biological
fieldwork and technological crafting with a community of local and
international scientists, artists, engineers, and animal rehabilitators.
All of the work is published openly for
sharing and remixing. Quitmeyer and his research were also the subject
of a (silly) television series called “Hacking the Wild,” distributed by Discovery Networks. [Website]
