Anna Dumitriu is a visual artist whose highly experimental work is involved with the nature of trans-disciplinary practice-based research. She regularly collaborates with scientists and often tends to go very deeply into her chosen area of research, taking on, or attempting to take on, the role of scientist in an almost performative sense, raising paradigmatic questions in her work. Her installations, interventions and performances use a range of digital, biological and traditional media including video projections, mobile phones and embroidery, working with diverse audiences often in non-traditional settings.
She regularly exhibits internationally including USA, Greece, Poland, Austria and her work and is held in international public collections including the Science Museum, London. She is currently Artist in Residence at The Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Robotics and a Visiting Research Fellow in the Dept of Informatics at Sussex University, a member of e-MobiLArt (European Mobile Lab for Interactive Artists) and researching her practice-based Fine Art PhD part-time at The University of Brighton.
Her major projects at Sussex University include ‘The Emergence of Consciousness” with Dr Blay Whitby and Dr Luc Berthouze and ‘Supporting Shy Users in Ubiquitous Technology’ with Dan Chalmers and Susie Scott.
