Curriculum vitae — Michael Stern

Artist · Engineer · Glassmaker · Educator. MIT-trained mechanical engineer (Mediated Matter Group, G3DP) and bench-trained glassblower. Founder of Evenline (2022, Rochester NY); co-founder of Lios (2018). Four U.S. patents on additive manufacturing with molten glass. Reach the studio at hello@evenline.co.

Studios

• 2022 · Evenline — Founder / Director. Solo studio, Rochester NY, built around digital glass: design, sculpture, installation, lighting. Currently obsessed with digital textures and recycled glass.
• 2018 · Lios — Founder / Co-Director. The bridge from research into a manufacturable practice. Radiolaria and Trillium were made here.
• 2014 · Mediated Matter, MIT — Research Scientist · Alumni. MIT Media Lab. Co-developed G3DP — the molten-glass 3D printer that began this practice. Four patents, the founding paper.
