PIIBEPIIRMA

I am media artist, curator and teacher based in Tallinn, Estonia. I graduated from the Estonian Academy of Arts with a MA degree in interactive multimedia (2005), and PhD degree in Art and Design (2015). I have worked as designer and visual artist since 2002, and curated several new media art exhibitions since 2006. I have also been lecturing in the Estonian Academy of Arts, Baltic Film, Media, arts and Communication School (University of Tallinn), Viljandi Culture Academy (University of Tartu), Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences and University of Liepaja (Latvia) since year 2004.
My PhD dissertation “Hybrid Practices. Art And Science in Artistic Research” is an art-based research, that is focusing on my artistic experience by collaborating different Science labs in Estonia and explores hybrid art and theories of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary art forms, bioart and citizen science. I collaborated with the centre of biorobotics and the Institute of Marine biology (Technical University of Tallinn).
Regarding my doctoral research I organized two solo exhibitions titled “Hybrid Practices” and “Hybrid practice – from General to Specific”. Additionally, one of the most important part of my PhD-studies was curatorial work for the international conference "Art&Science - Hybrid Art and interdisciplinary Research" and related exhibition "Rhizope" at Estonian Academy of Arts (2014).
