About

Jelena Guga is a theorist of arts and new media. Her work largely focuses on the ways new media technologies have rearticulated and redefined the notions of identity and embodiment in the age of constant connection and technological augmentation – from identity construction and bodily refunctionalization, to various digital interfaces and/or bio-technological interventions, to the convergence of digital and material landscapes and environmental information augmentation.
She holds a Ph.D. degree in Theory of Art and Media from the University of Arts in Belgrade, where she defended her PhD thesis entitled Body and Identity in Digital Space. She is currently working as a postdoc researcher at the University of West Bohemia, New Technologies Research Center – Department of Interdisciplinary Activities in Pilsen, Czech Republic. From October to December 2014, she was a visiting researcher at SPECS Group, University Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain. In collaboration with SPECS team members, she explored the topic of Body Ownership in Virtual Reality through neuroscientific experiments.
She gave public lectures and participated in a number of international conferences. Her published work includes journal and magazine articles, conference proceedings papers, and book chapters in edited volumes. She is the author of Digital Self: How We Became Binary (University of West Bohemia, Pilsen, 2015).
