Lina Dib is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Troy, NY and Montreal, QC. Her work highlights how our relationships with technological and natural systems are intimately linked to our relationships with each other. She creates pieces that push back on the demands of our current attention economy and that encourage moments for presence and connection.
Dib has a PhD in anthropology from Rice University, TX. She is a Research Fellow for the Center for Environmental Studies at Rice, and Senior Lecturer in the Design, Innovation, and Society program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, in the Department of Science and Technology Studies.
She is the recipient of grants from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Canada’s Social Science and Humanities Research Council, the Union of Concerned Scientists, and the City of Houston among others. Recent exhibitions include Verona Contemporary, the Houston Climate Justice Museum, the Houston Botanic Garden, Yerba Buena Gardens, Day for Night, Galveston Arts Center, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Governor’s Island NY, the Whitney Biennial, and Johnson Space Center NASA.
