[Bio c. 2010]
Lina Dib is a PhD candidate in Anthropology at Rice University and an affiliate artist-researcher at the Topological Media Lab. Situated at the intersection of anthropology, contemporary art, and the social study of science, her work concentrates on the research and development of prototypical recording devices, sensors, and personal archival technologies. Dib investigates how we build architectures for memory, structures in which to collect and organize knowledge and information about our pasts. Throughout, the design of recording devices is a question rather than an end, a means to elaborate on social, ontological and ethical issues. Building on her collaboration with the Topological Media Lab in Montreal, she furthers her research into time, memory and affect, creating installations predicated on an unconventional use of participatory audiovisual media. She has received grants and awards from the Canadian Humanities and Social Science Research Council, the European AMIDA training program, and the Humanities Research Center. Her most recent show, “Sounds for Stairs,” at Box13 ArtSpace in Houston (2010), transformed the gallery’s staircase into an evocative interactive soundscape. Dib’s compositions range from the ethnographic to the experimental and have been shown in Montreal, New York, San Francisco and Houston.
