I am a Mexican-born, Canada-based artist and researcher with studies in design, visual arts, art history and history. My work engages with the intersections of art, science, and technology as generative sites of feminist knowledge production.

Working both independently and collaboratively, I frame my practice as research-creation, a process-driven approach that integrates theory, history, and media art production. This methodology is grounded in and inseparable from my lived experience as a bilingual diasporic artist-researcher.

I am an Associate Professor at the School of Interactive Arts and Technology at Simon Fraser University and the director of cMAS, the critical media art studio, a research-creation space dedicated to investigating the histories of art, media, and technologies from a feminist perspective.

I develop multimedia projects that examine the body as a site of cultural, gendered, and techno-scientific inscription. Recent artworks and commissions include Diasporic Worldings (2025), Body as Borders: Traces and Flows of Connection (2022) and Mitochondrial Ontologies: Deep Time and the Digital (2020-2024). My video installations have been exhibited in Canada, China, Mexico, France, India, Chile, and the U.S., most recently at SUR Gallery (Toronto, 2023), Mónica Reyes Gallery (Vancouver, 2024) and the Urban Screen at Libby Leshgold Gallery (2025), Art and Migrations as part of FLEFF (2026) and Building Bridges: Roots and Branches Beyond the Pacific, Video Artists Bridging Latin America and China, curated by Elizabeth Ross in the Luo Zhongli Art Museum, Sichuan Fine Arts Institute (2026). Some of these multimedia projects are distributed by VIVO Media Arts (Vancouver) and GIV (Groupe Intervention Video, Montreal).

As a media arts historian, I center the work of self-identified women and Latin American diasporic artists, using a feminist framework to foreground their vital and often overlooked contributions to media arts (digital, electronic and emerging arts) at the intersection of science and technology.

I am the author of the award-winning book Women Made Visible: Feminist Art and Media in Post-1968 Mexico (Nebraska Press, 2019), translated into Spanish in 2022 (Bonilla Aritgas-CIEG). In this book, I examine the feminist practices of Mónica Mayer, Ana Victoria Jiménez, Rosa Martha Fernández, and Pola Weiss, as well as demonstrations and interventions by feminist collectives active in 1970s Mexico. Through research in personal and institutional archives and interviews, I demonstrate how their diverse practices in film, video, performance, installation, archiving and activism intervened and challenged the masculinist ethos that defined intellectual and political fields in the last decades of the 20th-century Mexico.

I am also the co-editor, with Analys Alvarez and Zaira Zarza, of Diffracting the North: Contemporary Latinx Canadian Experiences and Practices in Film, New Media, and Visual Arts (Concordia Press, 2025). In this volume, we map the experiences of curators, artists, filmmakers, and scholars of Latin American descent working in Canada since the 1980s. Through interviews, essays, and artist statements, our contributors reflect on what it means to be a Latinx artist in Canada.

My most recent project, in collaboration with Professor Claudia Costa Pederson and Independent artist and curator Pat Badani, Women, Art, Science and Technology in Latin America, traces the contributions of Latin American women artists in technoscience from the 1960s onwards.

My publications on the histories of feminist video art in Latin America, research-creation, archiving, activism, media and sound art appear in multiple edited volumes and journals, including Leonardo, Artelogie, The Latin American and Latinx Visual Culture Journal, Technoetic Arts: A Journal of Speculative Research, Resonance: The Journal of Sound and Culture, Latin American and Latinx Visual Culture,  Media-N, Journal of the New Media Caucus and Feral Feminisms Journal among others.
