Smilebigforgod (b. Michael Walker, Rochester, New York, 1987) has spent the past two decades pioneering experiential and immersive generative systems—responsive, audience-driven platforms that blend structured rules with real-time participant input, randomness, and emergence to grant genuine agency and transform passive viewing into active co-creation.

His practice anticipates interactive frontiers in computational media, designing systems that generate unique outcomes from user participation while preparing for advanced possibilities in storytelling, technology, and human connection.

Early projects include commissioned YouTube originals (The SubCulture Club, with Katalyst Productions in LA, 2012–14), the IRL/URL venue #LIVINGROOMTODAY, and the 24-hour online public access channel 8balltv.club, where he directed and produced original content, including CompUSA.live (2016), the first live desktop theater, exhibited at the New Museum.

He co-founded GGGLUE Interactive to direct real-time visuals for live performances, powering the largest immersive LED wall in the western hemisphere; its successor Smilesoft.dev created original audience interaction technologies like the Smile Drop system for Heineken at Formula 1 races and developed computational interaction systems for the NYC–Dublin PORTAL (2024). He is part of a production company currently rebranding and is developing a new audience-driven music project and performance platform for 2026.
