Einat Amir is an artist, researcher and educator. She received her MFA in
Visual Arts from Columbia University and is currently a doctoral
researcher in Aalto University’s Experience Platform - Department of Art
& Department of Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering. She is
currently based in Finland.
Amir's artworks are in the media of video installations and live performances
synthesized with scientific experiments in social psychology and
neuroscience. Her art practice examines emotional, social and political
aspects of everyday communication between individuals and groups. In her
research she focuses on methodologies of collaboration between artists
and scientists, proposing an innovative practice, in which both parties
are equal forces, allowing themselves and each other the liberties to
experiment outside their discipline. Amir's research and art-science
collaborations aim to contribute to social change by finding new
solutions for societal issues.

Jerusalem
born artist Einat Amir works in the media of video installations and
live performances. She received her MFA in Visual Arts from Columbia
University in 2009. Amir's works are a research of human interactions
that explore the possibilities inherent in everyday communication
between people. They are partly staged, partly improvised, partly
real-time, partly pre-recorded. She sees her studio as a “lab
of emotional research” where she experiments in creating interactions
that blend the notions of authenticity, fabrication, and manipulation.
