About Ilze Briede

Ilze Briede [artist name Kavi] is an artist nomad traversing various art disciplines and foraging multiple media into mutual conversations. Kavi's current research explores the intersection between human and non-human, biological, digital and artificial processes and systems, and potential cross-collaborations. Her major research areas are data art, patterns and immersive biodata performances for 360 dome projection focusing on aspects of materiality, performance, live coding, and experimentation. Kavi is a PhD student in Digital media and a member of several research labs and clusters at York University, Toronto, Canada. They are nD:StudioLab (dir. Prof. Mark-David Hosale), SLO Lab (dir. Prof. Jane Tingley), Alice Lab (dir. Prof. Graham Wakefield) and Sensorium (dir. Prof. Joel Ong). In the Summer of 2022, Kavi was an artist-in-residence in the Dynamic Graphics Project, an interdisciplinary research lab at the University of Toronto, working under Prof. Alec Jacobson's supervision. Kavi has previously shown her work at Currents New Media Festival, International Festival of Digital Culture + Code, IASPM Canada Conference, FACTT Trans-disciplinary & Trans-National Festival of Art & Science, SloMoCo, Fashion Art Toronto, and Toronto Nuit Blanche.
