about

Ioulia is a multidisciplinary designer and artistic researcher. Her interests lie in the encounters between diverse fields, exploring unexpected connections between science, artistic practices and human tradition. She holds a degree in Architecture from the National Technical University of Athens and pursued further studies in Interaction Design at UCL in London. Ioulia has garnered experience working for studios and in theatre productions across Europe. Currently, she is a doctoral fellow in Art Science in Ghent University, where her research focuses on the transmission of embodied knowledge through immersive and interactive technologies. Her unique background enables her to transcend traditional disciplines, and she frequently engages in collaborations with both artists and scientists. Using data, computer graphics and scientific concepts, her work aims to reveal the imperceptible forces that shape our lives, forging a connection with the more than human world.
