Catarina A. Barbosa M. Reis is an architect and transmedia artist based in Lisbon, Portugal, working at the intersection of art and science. She has recently been focusing her practice on transmedia artworks that explore feral ecologies and unexpected ecological entanglements, through a transdisciplinary research-creation methodology. She is currently a Ph.D. researcher at the Department of Multimedia Art, Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lisbon. Her doctoral research project, titled "Tentacular Ecologies: Interspecies Co-creation in the Chthulucene," investigates the fascinating realm of interspecies collaboration and co-creation. By combining her artistic practice with scientific tools her works aims to uncover new possibilities for ecological engagement and understanding. Additionally, Catarina is a member of the Artistic Studies Research Center (CIEBA), the Interactive Technologies Institute (ITI-LARsyS), and the Centre for Territorial Studies (DINAMIA' CET).
