During "Cyborg Nation", Clarinda Mac Low will wear a costume that is also a portable media
environment, with a built-in miniature camera, microphone, amplifier, and video projector. The
project investigates how technology both extends and limits our senses by combining remote
communication in the form of email and phone messages with one-to-one conversation,
providing a twenty-first-century version of the Socratic dialogue.

Clarinda Mac Low uses art to connect people across communities and to each other. Her
collaborative performances and public art take place in theaters, city streets, and unusual sites
throughout the world. Mac Low's background includes both art and science, with degrees in Dance
and Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. She is a former HIV lab researcher, medical journalist, and
the recipient of prestigious grants and fellowships from arts organizations such as the Foundation
for Contemporary Arts, MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire, and the Dance Theater Workshop in
New York.

Clarinda Mac Low's UGA visit is supported by the UGA department of Theatre and Film Studies,
Ideas for Creative Exploration (ICE), and Cine.
