Dr. Clarissa Ribeiro is an Assistant Professor in the Visual Arts Department at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. She previously directed the Technoetic Arts program at the Roy Ascott Studio in Shanghai, where she also served as a Senior Lecturer and Researcher under the Pete Townshend Endowed Senior Lectureship in Performative Technoetics (2022-2024). Dr. Ribeiro is a member of the editorial board of Technoetic Arts (Intellect Books) and reviews for The Leonardo Journal. With a Ph.D. in Arts from ECA USP with an internship at the Planetary Collegium (UK), she was a Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholar at UCLA’s Art|Sci Center, where she collaborated with the James Gimzewski Lab. Her academic background includes a B.Arch. and an M.Arch. from IAU USP. A member of the UCLA Art|Sci Collective, she chairs LASER Talks in Brazil and China and chaired the CR2024 Consciousness Reframed International Conference in Shanghai. Dr. Ribeiro’s research focuses on the intersections of art, science, and technology, particularly the cross-scale dynamics that shape macro-scale emergent phenomena. Her recent work delves into the metaphysics of information visualization and explores morphogenetic strategies to create transobjects, embracing the animistic and navigating ecological and cosmological frameworks. Her work has been exhibited globally, and she has published extensively in academic journals and conference proceedings. She has contributed as a reviewer for the Leonardo Abstracts Service and serves on juries and committees for international conferences such as ISEA, Consciousness Reframed, and SIGGRAPH.

Dr. Clarissa Ribeiro is an interdisciplinary architect, media artist, and researcher. She is currently an Assistant Professor in the Visual Arts Department at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, where she also manages the digital fabrication lab. Her career has spanned various international platforms, including serving as Program Director of the Roy Ascott Studio’s Technoetic Arts advanced degree program in Shanghai, China. During her time there, she was appointed as the recipient of the Pete Townshend Endowed Senior Lectureship in Performative Technoetics (2022-2024). She serves on the editorial board of Technoetic Arts (Intellect Books) and regularly reviews for The Leonardo Journal. Dr. Ribeiro earned her Ph.D. in Arts from ECA USP, Brazil, with an internship at the Planetary Collegium (UK). She was awarded a prestigious Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholarship at UCLA, where she conducted research at the Art|Sci Center and the James Gimzewski Lab. She also holds both a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from IAU USP, Brazil. An active member of the UCLA Art|Sci Collective, she has contributed to the academic and artistic dialogue around art, science, and technology since 2013. Her research focuses on cross-scale information dynamics and how they shape emergent phenomena at the macro scale. In her recent projects, she has explored the metaphysics of information visualization, subversive morphogenetic strategies, and the ecological significance of transobjects. Her work integrates animistic perspectives, blending cosmological and ecological approaches to reflect a convergence of science and poetics. This focus allows her to develop innovative art-science strategies for visualizing hidden dynamics within natural and constructed environments. Dr. Ribeiro is an internationally recognized artist and academic, with her work featured at prestigious venues such as Ars Electronica, ISEA, SIGGRAPH, and SIGGRAPH Asia. Her academic contributions include numerous publications in journals and conference proceedings. She is also a principal organizer of academic events, chairing the Leonardo/ISAST LASER Talks in Brazil since 2017 and China at the Roy Ascott Studio, and the CR2024 Consciousness Reframed International Conference in Shanghai. She actively contributes as a reviewer, committee member, and jury member at international conferences, including ISEA, Consciousness Reframed, CAA (College Art Association), and SIGGRAPH.
