Curator: Gigantic ArtSpace
Bio:
Over a decade Tina Gonsalves has been using the fluid and malleable medium of video to explore complex emotional landscapes. Rich, painterly video abstractions evoke intimate associations with personal space, supernatural forces, and intense experiences of transformation in times of trauma.
Most recently Gonsalves has been collaborating with neuroscientist Dr. Hugo Critchley, as artist in resident at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at UCL, London. Together they are focusing on interactive installations and devices sensitive to bio-behavioural signals of mood, translating these into dynamic and potent emotional video narratives. Critchley's research is orientated around brain interactions with bodily arousal and how these predict physical or psychological symptoms. The funded AHRC/ACE programme will combine methods to examine emotional communication, using time based mediums.

In 2004/2005 her work was exhibited/screened at the Banff Centre for the Arts, Siggraph, USA; ISEA 2004; Artsway, UK; IAMAS, Japan; The Australian Centre For Photography, Sydney; Barbican, UK; Pompidou Centre, France; DEAF 2004, ICA, London and was a featured artist representing the Australian Centre for Moving Image at the Melbourne Art Fair.

She has taken part in many Artist in Residence programs including The Banff New Media Institute in Canada, the Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague, Asialink artist in residence at the New Media faculty Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, (Pro) duction residency at Artsway and the Advanced Institute of Media Arts and Sciences residency in Japan.

Works by Gonsalves have been screened at many prestigious international and national festivals and events, and her music videos for labels BMG, EMI, and Festival Mushroom Records have been frequently televised worldwide.

Tina’s single channel video is represented exclusively by Novamedia Arts, and 2D prints are represented by the Helen Gory Galerie in Melbourne, Australia.
