Profile
Troy David Ouellette is a professor of digital media at Brock University’s Department of Visual Arts within the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts. Ouellette is an artist/researcher specializing in Assemblage theory, technology and conceptual art. He is working on an interactive website, a new book and a curatorial project titled Synæsthetics: Responsive, Transformative Media Art, funded by the Humanities Research Institute. His current practice focuses on creating organizations that help creative practitioners engage in research creation and extend the field of media art practice into the community. Ouellette is a founding member and former Chair of the London Ontario Media Arts Association (LOMAA) and Principal Organizer of the Sound Art Innovation Lab (S.A.I.L.) based in St. Catharines. His practice dovetails with an interest in conceptual art insofar as his practice takes the shape of organizations as platforms for social justice, studies in environmental and cultural reciprocity, agency and allyship. Ouellette’s interests often extend into how culture, technology, and the environment might interact beyond anthropocentric concerns.
