Margaret Dolinsky


Margaret Dolinsky is an Artist, Research Scientist and Assistant Professor at the School of Fine Arts at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. Her recent work involves digital painting fused into projections for opera and experimental film. She researches, designs and creates virtual environments. She is co-chair of the Engineering Reality of Virtual Reality conference with Ian McDowall. For details, see SPIE.

Margaret Dolinsky's research investigates interactive experience over high-speed networks and the CAVE Automated Virtual Environment while using the digital arts for cognitive recognition and perceptual shifts. She is an Assistant Professor and Research Scientist at the H.R. Hope School of Fine Arts Indiana University Bloomington. Exhibitions include SIGGRAPH, Ars Electronica, ICC, and the Walker Art Center USA. Her work is published in Leonardo, Discover, Computer Graphics World, US News and World Report and ACM's Computer Graphics. Lectures include Tsinghua University (China), Ciber@rts Bilboa (Spain), Sensorial Net (Brazil), BEAP (Australia), and ISEA (France). She received an MFA from University of Illinois at Chicago and is currently a researcher with the Planetary Collegium at the University of Plymouth, U.K.
