Michelle Teran - New artist in residency at Art & Technology.

Born in Canada, Michelle Teran is a media artist currently living and working in Berlin. Within her practice she is interested in the relation of the body, physical space and media. She explores the interplay between the social, the physical and the mediated within the urban environment and creates performances, installations and online works.

In her previous works, Life: A User's Manual, Friluftskino:Experiments in Open Air Surveillance Cinema,
Exploration #5 and LiveForm Telekinetics: LFTK she has used participatory performance, live installation and outdoor projection as urban interventionist strategies that explored the ontologies of hybrid urban spaces created through the overlaying of communication and audio and video networks with the built spaces of the city and that involved direct audience engagement. These projects involve working within different locations, social and cultural contexts and are the direct results of occupying these spaces and cultivating these exchanges.

For her residency at the Interactive Institute she will develop "Parasitic Video Network", a site-specific installation in the form of a live video network that temporarily transforms an everyday space simultaneously into a gaming environment and live film set to be explored by moving through it.
