Renée Turner is an artist and writer whose practice engages with digital narratives, archives, and interdisciplinary collaborative inquiry. Whether working collectively or on her own, her research is informed by feminist perspectives, and the entanglement of sites, histories, material encounters, and embodied subjectivities. She has been an artist in residence at Skowhegan, the Rijksakademie, and the Jan van Eyck Academy and awarded grants from the Mondriaan Foundation, Creative Industry Funds, and The Institute of Creative Technologies. Currently, she is a Senior Research Lecturer at the Willem de Kooning Academy, where she seeks critically committed approaches to pedagogy within the arts. She is also a researcher within the Rotterdam Arts and Science Lab (RASL), a transdisciplinary consortium between the Willem de Kooning Academy, Erasmus University, and Codarts. Next to these activities, she is a doctoral candidate at LUCA’s Intermedia Research Unit: Deep Histories Fragile Memories.
Sinead McDonald is a Dublin based artist and digital media educator, based at the Technological University, Dublin. Her research and practice focuses on intra-disciplinary practice at the nexus of art, engineering, science, and the body. Her doctoral research explores the materiality of the body as a site of knowledge-making, and the interrogation of its epistemic, biological, technological, and intra-species alliances and entanglements. Her research trajectories are heavily influenced by feminist new materialist philosophy and queer theory. She is a founder member of Future Makers Collective, and a core researcher in the role of critical posthumanism and transdisciplinarity in the European Culture and Technology Lab+ at the European University of Technology.
