Freya Zinovieff is a PhD student at Simon Fraser University. Her research looks at the entanglements between technologies, species and the Earth System, specifically in borderlands. She is interested by the potential for emerging technologies to reimagine the contrary temporalities of digital media, deep, and cyclical time, in order to illuminate the boundaries between the political, the biological and the ecological. Her current focus is the exploration of sound as a medium to create new myths that decolonize bordered landscapes with a particular focus on more-than-human perspectives. Freya underwent her MFA at University of New South Wales and holds a first class honors degree from Cambridge School of Art at Anglia Ruskin. She has received multiple awards, including an Endeavour Scholarship, and has worked extensively as a curator.
