Biography

Researcher, educator and artist specialized in the intersection of digital technology and the body. She holds a PhD in Advanced Studies in Artistic Productions (UB) with international mention, where I currently teach as a substitute professor. My artistic practice merges sound art, interactive installations, and digital tools such as automation, 3D modeling, videomapping, and augmented reality. I have extensive teaching experience, have led international workshops, and presented at leading conferences such as ISEA (Paris), fPET 2024 (ZKM), and SAR (Bauhaus). My work has been developed in collaboration with institutions like University College of London, Royal College of Art and University of California, Santa Barbara. Publications include Leonardo (MIT Press, USA), Multimodality & Society (SAGE, UK), and Adjacent Journal (NYU).
