Pia Lindman is currently Professor of Environmental Art at Aalto University, Finland. Lindman’s performance-based work suggests new ways of combining research and art. As artist-in-residence at MIT (2004–2006) she studied humanoid robots and facial expressions. Lindman was commissioned by the 32nd Sao Paulo Biennale, Incerteza Viva (2016), to build and perform her healing piece Nose Ears Eyes. Starting August 2017, Lindman will become a doctoral candidate at University of Lapland.
