Izabella Pruska-Oldenhof was born in 1974 in Wałbrzych, Lower Silesia, a southwestern region in Poland. She moved to Toronto, Canada, when she was 12 years old and has lived there ever since. She is a media artist and academic who holds a BAA in Media Arts from Toronto Metropolitan University, as well as MA and PhD degrees in Communication and Culture from York University. Her research interests are interdisciplinary, frequently exploring the intersections of art, body, and technology. Izabella's films and installations have received awards, commissions, and public grants, and have been shown in over 150 public presentations at major international film festivals, art museums, and centres, including TIFF in Toronto, IFFR in Rotterdam, Sundance in Park City, Utah, Centre George Pompidou in Paris, Guggenheim Museum in New York, EXiS Festival in Seoul, Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, and ZKM in Karlsruhe. Her artistic practice has expanded beyond cinematic projects to include large-scale photogram collages, film and video installations, textile environments, and, more recently, the application of EEG and AI technology in moving image and installation works. Her interest in artist-scientist collaborations led her to co-author a book with Robert K. Logan (a physicist and media ecology scholar), A Topology of Mind: Spiral Thought Patterns, the Hyperlinking of Text, Ideas, and More, published by Springer International Publishing in 2022. She is an Associate Professor at Toronto Metropolitan University, where she holds joint appointments in the School of Image Arts and Communication and the Culture Program.
