As an artist, researcher and educator, I am deeply committed to exploring the transformative potential of art within academic and societal context. My work integrates artistic practice, research and pedagogy, aiming to inspire creativity, critical thinking, and transdiciplinary collaboration.
In a time when awareness of humanity's environmental impact is growing, transdisciplinary perspectives and creative competence have become increasingly important tools for promoting sustainable development. Over the past two decades, I have lectured extensively on art and taught artistic methods, with a focus on how art, as a system of knowledge, can serve as a cognitive instrument for analysis and as a foundation for developing creative competence. I have lectured at various institutions and have a long experience in employing challenge based learning as a teaching method.
My artistic practice encompasses a diverse range of methods and expressions, and I am co-founder of the artist duo DiPisaStasinski, in collaboration with Robert Stasinski. In our latest research project, Technoecology - Performing Computation and Aesthetic Sensibility, funded by the Swedish Research Council's artistic research grant, we explore AI and robotics from an ecocentric perspective. The project aims not only to deepen our understanding of these technologies through the means of artistic research, but also to examine AI as an "alien agent" that challenges traditional, anthropocentric perspectives. By investigating AI and robotics as dynamic actors in symbiosis with their environment and combining performative and aesthetic perspectives within a technoecological framework, we aim to open up new ways to understand and shape advanced technologies.
