ELI JOTEVA
Eli Joteva (b.1990) is a Bulgarian-American intermedia artist, researcher and educator. With a practice rooted in photography and digital media, her work traces the translations between material and virtual planes in an effort to re-imagine the experiences of both human and other-than-human bodies. Influenced by contemporary research in the fields of quantum mechanics, neurophysics and machine vision, she investigates organic and computational memory systems in relation to imaging technologies of the past and future.
Joteva has exhibited internationally across Europe, the US, and Australasia, including at Ars Electronica, Linz; Rijksmuseum Twenthe, Enschede; Noor Riyadh, Riyadh; and the Queensland Center for Photography, Newstead. She has been a resident artist at STEAM Imaging III with Ars Electronica & Fraunhofer MEVIS, Vermont Studio Center, ACRE, and Photo+Sphere, and a member of UCLA Art Sci Center | Lab. Her work has been included in the DA Fest, xCoax, CultureHub LA, Currents New Media, SciArt Initiative, ComeAlive, Fischer Museum, and GOGBOT. Joteva holds a BA from USC Roski, an MFA from UCLA, and completed The New Normal postgraduate research program at Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture, and Design. Most recently she was a Visualization Research Artist at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, and an Adjunct Professor at Drexel University. Currently she teaches at Pepperdine University, Laguna College of Art & Design and the SciArc EDGE Program for Architectural Technologies.
