Myoda is an assistant professor of visual art at Brown University whose work includes more than 40 exhibitions of sculptures, drawings and short films.

Prior to Brown, he lived in New York City where he co-founded Big Room, an art production company, and Myoda + Ruy-Klein Architecture, an architecture-ideas collaboration.

In 2001, Myoda participated in the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s World Views Program and had a studio on the 91st floor of World Trade Center I. He co-created the “Tribute in Light” in 2001 in memory of the tragic events of 9/11, and the work has subsequently become an annual installation. More recently, Myoda has been developing “Glittering Machines,” a series of modular, interactive, kinetic, sonic and illuminating sculptures.

Myoda has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Warhol Foundation and the Howard Foundation, among others.
