Clea T. Waite

Clea T. Waite, Ph.D. is an intermedia artist, scholar, engineer and experimental filmmaker whose artworks investigate the material poetics that emerge at the intersection of art, science and technology. She creates immersive, cinematic works engaging embodied perception, dynamic composition and sensual interfaces – as well as one inter-species collaboration with several hundred tropical spiders.
