Bioart research exploring lichens, humans and the environment they share

A three-month residency at SymbioticA, the Centre of Excellence in Biological Arts, is a timely and transformative opportunity to develop my ongoing research project Symbiont, focusing on experiential engagement in wet biology practices on lichens and human body receptiveness. During this residency (April - July, 2021), I will focus on conducting cutting-edge bio-art research, which will equip me with the technical skills, scientific knowledge and digital materials that will ensure a successful outcome for the future Symbiont project that I will produce and exhibit in 2021-2023. At the intersection of art, science and technology, I envision the SymbioticA residency to be a pivotal point in expanding my professional development and networks as an environmental and multimedia installation artist.
