Bettina Bruder studied Communication Design and received her MFA in Design & Technology at Parsons, School of Design, New School University in New York. She is a guest lecturer at the University for Applied Sciences in Salzburg. In her creative work she is interested in anthropological, post-structural questions which she is refining in practice-based projects and installations. Through her experience in the brand communication department of a global company she got inspired for her academic research as PhD candidate in Media Arts.

In her artistic research, exploration and reflexion on the basis of several interdisciplinary, experimental projects she is approaching and investigating an idea of relasticity within culture. She is aiming to develop a methodology for the research question of how to cope with current sociological areas of instability and flux in human culture and how to take into account that we are part of changing, flexible networks with an increasing dissolution of structures, meanings and definitions. Currently B. Bruder is based in Sydney.

Bettina Bruder is a participant of the Winter School 2012.
