Zoë Mendelson will be reading a new text about life at home as a cyborg. She will be wearing a meticulously painted plaster disc - modelled after the sensor she has inserted into her arm - and talking about growing relationships to bio-data.

Dr Zoë Mendelson lives in Glasgow and is an artist and writer with an expanded field practice. In material terms her work includes making painting, large-scale wall-drawing, collage, hand-driven animation with live readings and installation. Zoë's work sits between Fine Art, critical
theory and work in the Medical Humanities, critically responding to institutions and histories of medicine, psychology, bio-power, and engages ill-being and disorder as producers of knowledge.
She has a PhD from Central St Martins (2015) and is Head of Painting & Printmaking at the Glasgow School of Art. Zoë's work has been shown and published widely nationally and internationally.
