[藝術家簡介] 　　　

希薇雅．博達

希薇雅．博達（1973~　）採用新媒體與類比技術創作藝術作品，如錄像投影、數位輸出與相紙輸出。她的作品常以歷史為材料，對文化符號的進行再處理，創造出混種的物件或影像。

博達採用歷史的視覺元素（如概念、組成），將其轉化為她自己的美學語言。所創造出的作品反映了與當代價值並存的舊時語彙。除了視覺表現之外，她的作品也令觀者有更深刻的思考空間。其作品的影像，表面上司空見慣，但所傳遞出的訊息卻非比尋常。

博達目前於加拿大英屬哥倫比亞大學和艾米利卡爾藝術學院的藝術史、視覺藝術與藝術理論系中擔任數位藝術的副研究員兼講師，她同時也在學院中研究人們如何在媒體的刺激下逐漸形成認知反應。她的研究方向在於檢視流行文化以及集中式的使用者介面系統的出現。除了大學內的研究工作外，她也負責管理ontherundesign.com網站，並與新媒體藝術策展人和國際藝術家合作，共同關注成形中的網路藝術。

Sylvia G. Borda

Borda is an active practicing artist, producing artworks that employ new media and analog technologies like video projection, digital and photo print media. Her work typically involves reworking cultural symbols to create hybridized objects or images from historical sources.

Borda takes historic visual components (concepts, compositions, etc) which become the foundation of her own aesthetic vocabulary. The resulting works are constructs that reflect past vocabularies held in juxtaposition with contemporary values. Her works cause audiences to do double takes. The resulting images appear familiar but the messages associated with them are often unfamiliar.

Borda is currently an Associate Researcher and Lecturer in Digital Arts in the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory at the University of British Columbia and at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, where she is presently studying how cognitive responses evolve over time in relation to media stimuli. Her research interests lie in the examination of popular culture and the emergence of convergent user interface systems. Among other academic responsibilities, she manages ontherundesign.com, a partnership of new media curators and international artists addressing emerging definitions of Net Art.
