Ghislaine Boddington
Ghislaine Boddington (born 11 October 1962) is a British artist, curator, presenter and director specialising in body responsive technologies and immersive experiences, pioneering it as 'hyper-enhancement of the senses' and 'hyper-embodiment' since the late 80s[1]. Coming from a performing arts background, she has focused on the blending of the virtual and physical body through converging telepresence, sensors, motion capture, wearables, gesture interfaces, biofeedback, robotics, virtual worlds and mixed realities into experiential environments.
Boddington is a Creative Director and co-founder of body>data>space[2], an interactive design collective emerging from shinkansen[3], and Women Shift Digital[4]. She keynotes internationally on her research 'The Internet of Bodies' and is a Reader in Digital Immersion at the University of Greenwich[5], a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and Artist Research Fellow at ResCen[6], Middlesex University. She sits on the Advisory Board of AI & Society journal by Springer and consults for the creative industries sector, particularly working with Nesta as a co-curator of FutureFest[7].
Boddington is co-presenting bi-weekly for BBC Click, the BBC World Service radio technology programme, and was in 2017 awarded the IX Immersion Experience Visionary Pioneer Award[8] by the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT).
