On Monday, Feb. 19, at 4:30 p.m., in Binns-Merill, room C, visiting artist Victoria Vesna will present “Art/Science Collaborations: Being in Between.”

Vesna is a media artist exploring the overlap between technology and identity formation. Her installations bridge scientific and artistic languages. She has produced different models for rendering abstract models of the universe tactile and visual, bringing nanoscience into the experiential realm.

Her collaborators have included Tibetan monks at the Gaden Lhopa Khangsten Monastery and Dr. James Gimzewski, nanoscience pioneer. Her work has been exhibited internationally and has won the prestigious Oscar Signorini award for best net artwork (1998).

She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Wales and is chair of the Design/Media Arts at the University of California at Los Angeles. Vesna is the North American editor of AI & Society and editor of Database Aesthetics.
