Summary
Afroditi Psarra is a transdisciplinary artist and Associate Professor of Digital Arts & Experimental Media at the University of Washington, blending academic research with hands-on creation in e-textiles, wearables, and interactive performance. With a PhD in Image, Technology and Design, her work interrogates the body-as-interface and revitalizes tradition as a tactic for “hacking” technological norms, mixing cybercraft and gendered practices with open-source pedagogy. She has presented at major media art festivals (Ars Electronica, Transmediale) and published at SIGGRAPH, DIS and ISWC, translating speculative science-fiction concepts into tangible performative systems. A former Disney Research Zurich intern, she pairs rigorous HCI training with studio-based craft, making her practice both critically informed and materially experimental.
