Jeff Lieberman isn’t just the host of Discovery Channel’s Time Warp. He’s a musician roboticist sculptor photographer. He holds four degrees (two bachelors of science and two masters) and is currently pursuing his doctorate at MIT’s Media Lab, studying how art and science can be combined to bring people together. He is known for creating "technological sculptures." At MIT he led the design on the Cyberflora installation, a robotic flower garden that senses and responds to people in a lifelike manner, and the Motor Learning Robotic Wearable Suit, a robotic suit that teaches motor skills like dance, sports, rehab, etc. He has also produced kinetic art sculptures. Time Warp focuses on the use of high-speed photography to show viewers new things about the world. Mr. Lieberman takes regular events or actions, such as a cat licking its paw, and slows them down enough so the human brain can process exactly what is happening. These are both beautiful and scientific, an intermingling of genres that Lieberman has perfected
