Biography
Clare is a Lecturer in Visual Arts Practice at Abertay University, where she leads and co-delivers modules across all levels of the Computer Arts programme.
Clare brings her experience as an artist, curator and creative producer to the role to provide students with practice-based guidance and contextual awareness of creative industries, often seeking opportunities for students and staff to exhibit and advance their work through GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) partnerships.
Clare's research is practice-based and explores the intersection between playful technology, performance and community engagement. Through exhibitions, interactive installations and community events, Clare seeks to create meaningful experiences for people, providing a space for connection, reflection and discussion. Often these projects explore sociocultural or sociopolitical topics, with a focus on wellbeing and self-expression.
These interdisciplinary projects often involve collaborations with performers, game designers, sound artists and other creative practitioners, and hold the player/visitor-experience at the centre.
Currently, Clare is working on projects that explores lived experience, nostalgia and cooperative games, bringing people together to listen and share their stories in playful, accessible ways.
