Häli Barthel's practice investigates the intersection of materiality and technology and how digital systems shape domestic space. She is currently based in Taipei on a Fulbright fellowship, reaseching design and digital materialy.

Working with both discarded materials and experimental processes, her practice treats salvage and reuse as investigation into how objects accumulate meaning across their lifecycle. She graduated with a degree in Furniture Design from The Rhode Island School of Design and is based in New Haven.
