Remembering Frank Nack

On July 10, 2026, Dr. Frank Nack passed away. He was a professor at the University of Amsterdam’s Informatics Institute. More so, he was a dear friend and mentor to me. I came to know Frank when I was a newly minted PH.D. publishing in ACM Multimedia’s Interactive Arts track. Part of Frank’s research focused on communication, creativity, and interactive narratives which were all themes in my research at the time. I still remember the thoughtful conversations and helpful guiding feedback he provided me when we first met.
