After many years as a visual artist using traditional media, Gina was introduced to computer graphics in 2001. Throughout the next 15 years (while employed as a 3D animator) she became increasingly aware of assumptions and biases implicit in the design, marketing and orthodox use of 3D animation software. Completed in 2015, Gina’s PhD research investigates these assumptions and, through a practice-led enquiry, develops novel approaches to 3D software in order to expand the practices and visual styles associated with 3D animation.
Broadly speaking, Gina’s ongoing research embraces the generative potential of digital (material) practices. She is particularly interested in the various ways that these emerging practices might work against anthropocentrism.
