Ina is currently Assistant Professor in the School of Art, Design and Media, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Drawing on her long career as a painter and sculptor, she merges polysensory hybrid painting methodologies, avant-garde filmmaking and sound cultures into meaningful, immersive 3D animated public installations. In an effort to define the relationships between technology, materiality and aesthetics, her recent research is crossing into experiential 3D stereo animated pictorials spaces and new emotive based digital animation experiences.
Ina holds a BFA from the University of Belgrade; and an MFA in Arts from the University of California, Los Angeles. She continued her studies in Tokyo’s National University of Fine Arts & Music, and Kyoto Seika College as a Japan Foundation Fellow.
