Cambridge, MA & Athens, GR
Hello, my name is Constantinos, & I am a Greek-Swiss artist, musician & student based in Cambridge, MA & Athens, GR. I am currently pursuing a Master in City Planning & a Master of Architecture at MIT, & I hold a BA in Urban Studies from Stanford University, where I graduated with departmental honors & distinction, & was awarded the Firestone Medal for Excellence in Research.
I am curious about the effects of urban change on the natural environment & society, I have explored my interests through academic research, teaching, large scale installations, performances, audio-visual investigations, & practical work experience at firms in Athens, GR, New York, NY & London, GB. I have exhibited my work in Athens GR, Cambridge MA, Stanford CA & San Francisco CA.

I am one half of Oo-PS, a collaborative research & design practice working across scales to produce narrative-driven artwork, writing, music & objects as ways of anticipating sets of future socio-environmental challenges & designing theoretical methods to meet them.

I write, record, produce & occasionally perform music under the alias Shrinking Violet, a project that modulates between ambient, dreampop & indie rock in an effort to create music about spaces, distance & uncertainty.
