Submitted by Nick Cronbach on Thursday, 06/12/2025 4:25pm

We are saddened by the loss of Diana Domingues, Brazilian artist, theoretician, and educator, who passed away on June 5. Diana Domingues (1947-2025) forged works that sought the naturalization of technology, hybridizing daily rituals, mixed reality, and the bio-cybrid body. She was interested in developing hermeneutic and metaphorical proposals of interactive complex systems that addressed the conditions, limits, and possibilities of human-machine symbiosis in the 21st century.
