Biografia

Allison Kudla is currently a PhD Candidate at the University of Washington's Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media (DXARTS). She holds a BFA from the School of The Art Institute of Chicago, 2002. She is interested in using technology in her art to gain greater perspectives on the system in which we exist. She hopes for her work to inspire, develop and question the technologies it uses, with the pursuit of utilizing art to create meaningful and unique experiences that allow us to understand our selves and our habitats in ways no other forms of human inquiry and development could. In her earlier work, she focused on the variation of interiors by producing real-time video/audio renderings using data sensed within the given space. Her most recent work uses engineering, mechanics and electronics to create hybrid circumstances that alter the form and pattern of living systems.

She has shown both nationally and internationally. Her most recent accomplishments include an honorable mention in Vida 11.0, participation in Artbots Dublin 2008, a commission for DesCours New Orleans, and a paper presentation at PerthDAC 2007.
