Pía Baltazar is an intermedia composer, indisciplinary researcher, and directress of arts-sciences development at the Society for Arts and Technology [SAT] in Montréal, Canada.
With a triple background in engineering, art philosophy, and musical composition, her artistic and technological research approach has been developing for over twenty years at the intersection of interactive design, artistic production, and philosophy. She is particularly interested in the creative possibilities of the encounters between the senses and the involvement of the body and gesture in the creative process, in the service of constant attention to the audience's sensory experience. Through this, she is interested in liminal states of perception and consciousness, and how they generate specific modes of temporality and relationality. She also conducts theoretical research on the intra-actions between aesthetics and epistemology in the field of technological arts.
In her role as directress of arts-science development at SAT, she is in charge of developing innovative collaborations and partnerships with the local and international artistic and academic communities. In particular, she set up the ArtIA project, for the development of creative AI commons for and by the artistic community.
