Dr Eugenia Fratzeskou (b.1979, Athens) is a Visiting Lecturer in MA Architecture & Digital Media, University of Westminster, member of the Leonardo Reviews Panel and the international Drawing Research Network. Eugenia’s articles on her recent research & practice and her reviews of the latest developments in art, architecture, space, science, technology, cosmology and perception are published in the Leonardo ISAST Journal, The MIT Press. Eugenia has invented pioneering types of site-specific art through mapping the inter-passages between virtual and actual architectural spaces within new types of virtual environments. She has created new relationships between art, architecture, philosophy, computer science and virtual reality.
