New media and technologies are constantly reshaped, they form complex networks and merge with all living and non-human forms, remaking themselves and becoming obsolete as we speak: it is crucial that we develop better tools to understand their functioning and that we interrogate their usage and significance in and outside the classroom. I am very thrilled to draw on my current interdisciplinary experience and research interests as an artist and media scholar, and as the artistic director of the ArtSci Salon at the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences (Toronto) to lead this course: my research focuses on how scientific and technological mechanisms translate, encode and transform the natural and human world, and how new interdisciplinary approaches may help comprehend its increasing complexity.   My recently awarded SSHRC research creation project draws on feminist technoscience and on collaborative encounters across technoscience and the arts to investigate those newly emerging or newly created (biological or digital) forms exceeding the categories defined by traditional methods of classification. As an artist, I have presented site-specific, itinerant and collaborative installations at art festivals (Transmediale; Hemispheric Institute Encuentro; Brazil), community centres and galleries (the Free Gallery Toronto; Immigrant Movement International, Queens; Artscape Youngplace, for Myseum of Toronto), and science institutions (RPI; the Fields Institute). ArtSci Salon, Personal Website.
