Mary Bunch

Mary Bunch is a media artist, Canada Research Chair, and Associate Professor of Cinema and Media Arts at York University. Her research develops socio-political concepts through critical theory and media arts creation, informed by queer, disability justice, and decolonizing frameworks. Her four-year SSHRC-funded project Pluriveral Worlding with Extended Reality engages ‘world’ as a frame of reality, as well as being a narrative and aesthetic element of media artworks. She is co-editor of a special issue on Access Aesthetics in the journal Public and has a monograph-in-progress titled Ecstatic Ethics. Bunch co-Directs the Peripheral Visions CoLab, and is a member of Sensorium Centre for Digital Arts and Technology, the Digital Justice Research Cluster, and Connected Minds: Neural and Machine Systems for a Healthy, Just Society.
