Ali Miharbi is an artist whose work can take many forms from photographic, graphic or sculptural pieces to dynamic systems driven by live or stored data. His recent work explores our complex two-way relationship with technology within larger frameworks. In 2010 he completed his M.F.A. from Virginia Commonwealth University after acquiring a dual degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Art Theory & Practice with a concentration in Painting from Northwestern University in 2000. Not only his academic background, but also living back and forth between USA and Turkey gave him the mental flexibility to jump back and forth between different modes of thinking. His work has been exhibited in Turkey, Mexico, South Korea, USA and Australia. ??Claudia Costa Pederson is interested in examining histories about the relationship of media with art and activism.
