Biography
Dr. Nina Sellars is an artist and Research Fellow at the Alternate Anatomies Lab, School of Design & Art, Curtin University, Perth, Australia who studies human anatomy as mediated by art and technology. Sellars is also an Adjunct Lecturer at the Department of Anatomy & Developmental Biology, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia and the Project Manager for Immersive Environments at the School of Design & Art, Curtin University, where she designs augmented reality/blended reality teaching spaces that are informed by visual arts practice.

Stellars' installations, such as her 2009 work Anatomy of Optics and Light shifts attention to the relationships between light and the anatomical body, opening up a multifaceted system of exchange beyond enduring historical philosophies on objectivity, light and vision. She studies the anatomical image as an abstraction, through the concept of light as an active agent in the translation of flesh into image.
