Michelle Teran

Michelle Teran’s work critically engages media, connectivity and perception in the city. Her performances and installations repurpose the language of surveillance, cartography and social networks to construct unique scenarios that call conventional power and social relations into question. She is the winner of the Transmediale Award, the Turku2011 Digital Media & Art Grand Prix Award, Prix Ars Electronica and the Vida 8.0 Art & Artificial Life International Competition. Canadian-born Teran currently lives and works between Berlin and Bergen, where she is a research fellow at  at the Bergen Academy of Arts and Design.
