Linda Dement
Dr Linda Dement has worked in arts computing since 1980s. Originally a photographer, her practice spans coding, image, video and sound. With a longstanding interest in bodies and technologies, she deals with issues of disturbance, commingling corporeality with the digital and electronic.
“There are strong similarities in scientific research process and creative practice. Both address the unknown and often carry out material experiments to discover something new and to refine and clarify results.”
