OBJECTIVE:I have been working towards sustainable research in the areas of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary fine art education practices. This research has led me to explore internationally the effects of emerging science and technology on all aspects of the fine arts. Based on my experience as an artist, I am working towards developing new approaches in the delivery of art and science post new media art assimilation. My artistic practice focus is exploring new understandings of Uncertainty, quantum phenomena and new materiality\u2019s in the area of art and science.<\/p>\n
ACTIVE RESEARCH AND RESEARCH INTERESTS:
\nPractice led research in nanotechnology working on the aesthetics of quantum phenomena at the quantum computer centre, University of New South Wales.
