Alexandra Murray-Leslie
About
BACKGROUND AND AREAS OF EXPERTISE
From my early years as an art student in Melbourne, Australia to practicing as an artist in the vibrant scenes of Singapore, Tokyo, San Francisco & Europe, my journey has never been that of a traditional academic. As a co-founder of the art band Chicks on Speed, I've collaboratively extended the domains of art, activism, fashion, pop music and technology. This path led me to pursue a Ph.D. at Creativity and Cognition Studios, Department of Engineering and IT, The University of Technology Sydney, where my focus on analogue & digital musical body-centric Instrument creation for performance has solidified my commitment to merging craft with technological sustainovation.
Currently serving as a Professor of Digital Performance at the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art, NTNU, my endeavors reach well beyond the conventional bounds of academia, interfacing directly with industry. A notable example of this is my advisory role at A Shaded View on Fashion Film, Dover St Market Paris, where I curate in the field of Artistic Research. This role exemplifies my dedication to nurturing synergies between the academic world, pop music, art, critical fashionable costume and industry, to build innovative collaborations, aiming to create a symbiotic relationship that drives forward and blurs the boundaries of each field.
Moreover, my commitment to public engagement and educational enrichment is exemplified through my honorary Professor appointment at the University of Technology Sydney's School of Computer Science, Faculty of Engineering and IT. Here, I continue to engage with collaborative cutting-edge research and development, fostering a bridge that not only spans across scientific disciplines but also connects academia directly with the broader community.
I´m currently a member of the Global Movement to Gaza (GMTG), an international network of artists, academics, and civil society actors engaged in humanitarian solidarity.
