Bio
Kimberley Bianca is a media artist, educator, and researcher from Australia whose work explores how immersive and interactive media can transform complex systems into experiences that people can see, hear, feel, and move through. Working across environmental data, generative graphics, biological signals, and gestural interfaces, she develops projects exploring cognition, feedback, attention, and the relationships between bodies, media, and ecological change.
Bianca holds a PhD in Emergent Technologies and Media Arts from the University of Colorado Boulder and an MPhil in Curating Electronic Art from the University of New South Wales. Her creative practice has developed through Australia’s electronic art scene, including directing Electrofringe in Sydney, as well as projects and collaborations across Eastern Europe and the United States. Her doctoral projects in Colorado brought together artists, citizen scientists, and youth through interactive, large-scale video projections.
Before academia, Bianca worked as a VJ, video editor, and AV technician. She continues to work across live audiovisual performance as Disaster Girl, exploring crisis and irony through cybernetics and musical collaborations.
