Aleksandra Dulic, B.F.A., M.F.A., Ph.D.
Office: FIN 171 Research Interests: My research focuses on cross -cultural media performance, media for social change and computational poetics. My artistic practice includes films, animations, media performances, interactive installations, artistic software and tools, as well as interdisciplinary collaborations with composers and artists in various disciplines, sch as music, dance, theatre, poetry and shadow play. |
In my research I place the artistic practice at the base of technological innovation, theoretical articulation and contextualization. I approach my research as an artist / scholar with a practice-led endeavor, which means that my praxis and contextualization, both historical and methodological, leads towards the theoretical articulations that relate to an interactive and electronic art practice as situated form.
The theoretical investigation in my work is focused on a cross-cultural study of visual and media art, both through the investigation of media genealogies that influence the developments of emerging digital visual media art practice as well as through an analysis of media forms that have developed across different traditions and cultures.
As an artist I explore the balance of embodied skills, i.e., drawing, painting, musical gesture, etc., with the ability to dynamically mediate these in a media environment. This artistic research area entails the integration of hand drawing, animation and gestural expression within a practice of electronic media installation and performance. An electronic art practice that can accommodate embodied skills is well suited to draw from the long history of performative traditions that effectively address the communities they are presented in.
The image and its relationship to computation and flexible time-based multimedia structure provide another axis in my current research. This relationship between image production and computation leads to questions of how computational technologies expand the practice of visual arts as well as how visual representation and its reception are changed by the interactive media situation.
