Natalie Jeremijenko is an artist and experimental designer whose background includes studies in biochemistry, physics, neuroscience, and precision engineering. Her research centers on structures of participation in the production of knowledge, and the political and social possibilities (and limitations) of information and emerging technologies—mostly through public experiments. Her work spans a range of media, from statistical indices, to biological substrates, to robotics. Natalie is the director of the Environmental Health Clinic at New York University (NYU), which develops and prescribes locally optimized and often playful strategies to effect the remediation of environmental systems, producing measurable and mediagenic evidence, and she coordinates diverse projects to effect material change. At NYU she is also Assistant Professor in Art, and affiliated with the Computer Science Department. Her projects have been exhibited by several museums and galleries, including the MASSMoCA, the Whitney Museum, and the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. Previously she was on the Visual Arts Faculty at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and the Faculty of Engineering at Yale. A 1999 Rockefeller Fellow, she was recently named one of the forty most influential designers by I-Dmagazine.
