Mari Velonaki
MARI VELONAKI has worked in the field of interactive installation art for over eight years, and is currently an artist/researcher at the Australian Centre for Field Robotics, an ARC Centre of Excellence in Autonomous Systems, Sydney.
Velonaki has become known for her curious female characters who come to life or die, depending on how we speak, move, eat and even breathe in their presence! This fascinating interplay between the audience and the artwork is controlled by complex sensor-triggered interfaces.
Mari Velonaki was awarded an Australia Council Fellowship in 2007.
