Professor Lushetich is an interdisciplinary scholar with a background in the arts. At Dundee, she is Professor of Contemporary Art & Theory and AHRC Leadership Fellow. Her research relies on theoretical as well as practice-based methods, and focuses on intermedia, critical mediality, global art, the status of sensory experience in cultural knowledge, biopolitics and performativity. Her current AHRC-funded research project is: The Future of Indeterminacy: Datafication, Memory, Bio-Politics.

Professor Lushetich is a founder-member of subRosa and the recipient of numerous fellowships and residencies such as Fulbright (NYU, New York); Steim (Amsterdam); Noorderzon (Groningen); and ArtsLink (Cleveland & NYC). Her artistic work has been shown in a range of conventional venues – museums, film and performance festivals in Europe, Asia, and the US – in less conventional venues – banks and the street – as well as supported by the Art Council of England; The Mondrian Foundation; The VSB Foundation; The Amsterdam Fund for the Arts; and The Dutch Fund for the Performing Arts, among others.
