Liz MacDougall has worked in the media arts since 1984 after completing a degree in Fine Arts at NSCAD with studies at UCSD, San Diego. Concerned about the social distribution of power, she creates her work through playful applications of new technologies. She is the director of several videos, both art and documentary, including “DEBERT BUNKER: by invitation only,” "Time to Heal" and "the Birth of Sybling," for which she won national awards. Liz has been both an employee and a member of several artist-run film and video spaces including Cineworks Film Co-op - Vancouver, the Centre for Art Tapes - Halifax, and Studio XX - Montreal. In 1996 she founded the Incomplete Dislocations Collective, a group of Halifax artists who create and exhibit new media works. She has curated new media exhibitions for the Incomplete Dislocations Collective, Edge Intermedia, the IMAA Atlantic, and the Centre for Art Tapes. Liz has also taught interactive media at NSCAD and works in Halifax as a video editor and digital media creator.
