Short Bio: Over a decade Tina Gonsalves has been using the fluid and malleable medium of video to explore complex emotional landscapes. Rich, painterly video abstractions evoke intimate associations with personal space, memories and emotions. Over the last few years her work has investigated the intersections of art, technology and science. Gonsalves is currently working with world-leaders in psychology, neuroscience and emotion computing in order to research and produce moving image artworks that respond to your emotions. Poetic installation video works, mobile and wearable technolgy works respond to pulse, sweat, voice and emotional expressions.
Her recent project, Chameleon, is a collaboration with neuroscientists, technologists, curators and international research departments. An emotionally responsive video installation explores emotional contagion. A recent project, Nowness series is a collaboration with Nokia Research Labs in Finland and the Max Planck Institute. Over three years they have built works to disrupt habitual communication,to create more intimate and felt communication.
She has been awarded numerous Artist in Residence programs including The Banff New Media Institute in Canada, the Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague, Asialink Residency in Bangkok, Thailand (2003) and China (2011), (Pro)duction residency at Artsway, UK, the Advanced Institute of Media Arts and Sciences residency in Japan and Arts Council England’s International Fellowship based in London. She was artist in residence at Nokia Research Labs, Finland.
