Bio
After studies at the Latvian Academy of Arts, Riga/Latvia;
Royal University of Fine Art in Stockholm/Sweden and Germany
(MFA 2003 at the Academy of Media Arts - KHM - Cologne)
continues in areas of interactive multi-media installations,
Virtual Reality, Internet and cultural network projects.
Participations with exhibitions, projects, lectures in many
international events - Ars Electronica (1997,1998,2002) -
Linz/Austria; EXPO2000 - Hanover/Germany; ISEA2004 Helsinki/Finland;
DEAF04, Rotterdam/the Netherlands; Transmediale, Berlin/Germany
- and venues such as Kiasma, Helsinki/Finland; SAT, Montreal/Canada;

Recent solo and collaborative works -- interactive
and networked installations, featuring synthetic urban landscapes,
geo-encoded and location-aware media - manifested in audiovisually
intensive stereoscopic 3D projections and multi-channel audio,
touch up with concepts of contemporary theoretical physics,
communication and evolution theories. Another artistic research focus
is multi-media "performance", using self-developed "VR instruments" -
virtual multimedia interfaces. Main aspects are exploration
of the extremes of audiovisual perception, artificial synaesthesia,
crossing of sensory pathways and treating immersive environments
as place and tool for aesthetic experiments.
