Visual artist and experimental filmmaker Eva Lee is fascinated by the nature of mind and reality. This has led her to create work in response to neuroscience. Her latest experimental films were created in collaboration with renowned neuroscientist Dr. Richard Davidson. Other work includes EEG brain data visualizations, installations, and drawings.
She has exhibited at galleries and museums nationally, including the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, and Bronx Museum of the Arts. She has screened internationally at Cannes Short Film Festival, BBC Big Screen, Ann Arbor Film Festival, and other events such as SPRING/BREAK Art Show in New York City presented by Harvestworks and ThoughtWorks Arts.
Her work is in the Tampa Public Art Collection, Connecticut Artists Collection, Louisiana Art & Science Museum, Columbia University East Asian Library, and other collections. Awards include Fulbright U.S. Scholar, fellowships from Asian Cultural Council, Connecticut Office of the Arts, MacDowell, Hemera Foundation, and Mind & Life Summer Research Institute.
Her Fulbright research examined visual culture and philosophy of mind in the Buddhist tradition. She is currently interested in models of mind and their potential insight for computation and self-learning artificial intelligence.
