Digital Culture & AudioVisual Challenges

Dr Catherine M. Weir is visual artist, researcher, and lecturer at the Glasgow School of Art. Working with photography, data, and code, her research draws on elements of the natural world to reflect on humanity’s relationship to the nonhuman, and the implications of her media’s increasing convergence for photographic practice and theory. In 2014, she was awarded a full Arts and Humanities Research Council studentship to support her Ph.D. research, ‘The Digital Index’. Her digital and photographic works have been featured in exhibitions at galleries nationally, including The Royal Scottish Academy, Street Level Photoworks, and The Victoria and Albert Museum.
