  PhD Candidate

  PhD Candidate, School of Interactive Arts and TechnologyDissertation: "Transductive Praxis in BioArt: Relational Ontology and Aesthetics of Nonhuman Experience"My research focuses on the work of philosopher Gilbert Simondon and BioArt. I am using Simondon as a theoretical framework for creating art with living, nonhuman organisms. With my dissertation I focus on Simondon's concepts of invention, technoaesthetics, transduction and the individual-milieu dyad. My artwork includes sculptures and installations using bioluminescent algae, physical computing and biosensors to create interactive artworks that bring humans and algae into experience mediated by technology. I look to Simondon to help understand how technology can enable us to creatively engage with nature. Show less
