Renata Pękowska is a visual artist and researcher based in Dublin. She is currently an Irish Research Council Government of Ireland Scholar PhD Researcher at the School of Media, Technological University Dublin. Her background includes architectural studies, BDes in craft design (NCAD), MA in critical theory and curating (NCAD), MA in UI and UX Design (TU Dublin). Her PhD project considers multimodal exhibition practices as sites of attention care, in the context of the attention economy of online platforms. It interrogates discursive potential of sites of presence and co-presence, generating sociable togetherness or hybrid togetherness through liveness and embodiment. The expanded forms of outreach and exhibition design practices are considered in the context of three ecologies: individual, social and environmental.
