He has recently joined Workshop LEVITAS, an AIA award-winning international design collaboration of architects, engineers, interactive designers and experimentalists, in order to realize 'Crosswired', a responsive architectural installation with music that premiered at the Architecture and Design Museum in Los Angeles in April 2007. Mr. Boyer was on the faculty of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Department of Art and Technology Studies from 1995-2001 before moving to LA to attend architecture school. While earning his masters degree in architecture he collaborated with architects Wes Jones and Doug Jackson to create a robotic architectural space in which steel beams and columns slowly repositioned themselves.
