FORUM BEK-NIGHT
MICHELLE TERAN
Artist talk by Michelle Teran
Michelle Teran from Canada explores the interplay between social and media networks within urban environments. She uses performative action, many times involving public participation, to articulate the relation of media to the body and architecture by staging urban interventions such as tours, walks, outdoor projections, participatory installations and happenings. She has completed residencies and commissions with several cultural institutions in Europe and Canada and presented at events and venues throughout the world. Michelle received numerous grants and awards for her work including the Prix Ars Electronica Honorary Mention within the interactive art category and 2nd prize in the Vida 8.0 Art & Artificial Life International Competition, sponsored by Fundacion Telefonica (Madrid).
