Dr Eugenia Fratzeskou
Eugenia (b.1979, Athens) is a London-based artist, researcher, author
and educator. Pioneering types and processes of digital site-specific
art and drawing have been the outcomes of her research leadership of
highly successful international research projects with artists, architects
and computer scientists since 2000, and her completed AHRC-funded, practice-led
PhD on Visualising Boolean Set Operations: Real & Virtual Boundaries
in Contemporary Site-specific Art (Oct 2002-Mar 2006, University of
Surrey/Wimbledon School of Art). Eugenia has advanced a wider discourse
on digital visualisation systems and virtual environments in site-specific,
digital media art and architecture, through inventing methodologies
for mapping the invisible inter-passages between virtual and actual
architectural spaces within new types of site-specific virtual environments.
Her expertise includes the relationship between symbolic logic, Boolean
set operations, algebraic, geometrical processes, digital space and
built architectural space.
Eugenia gained her AHRC-funded, MA in Fine Art: Drawing (2002, Wimbledon
School of Art) and a BA (Hons) in Fine Art: Painting (2001, WSA). She
is a member of the Drawing Research Network (Open University). She has
