Presented by the BU Arts Initiative, and in partnership with Meg Younger (Biology), BU Department of Biology, and the BU Center for Systems Neuroscience, Low Res alum M Dougherty announced their residency at Boston University from April 24 to April 28, 2023. In addition to class and studio visits, M will be featured in events listed here.
M Dougherty is a nonbinary, multidisciplinary artist and researcher. With a rich background in many fields, they focus on psychophysical research and artwork which uses design to express the output of research. Raised in Los Angeles, in an epicenter of experimental olfaction, they often use scent to explore communication, memory, and interaction throughout their work. Equipped with a BA in Fine Arts from the USC and a Master’s in Interactive Media Arts from NYU Shanghai, M moves fluidly between artistic mediums in an attempt to better study the juxtaposition of technology and humanity. Their artistic practice originated in sculpture so consistently involves installation and personal interaction through the senses. This manifests in explorations of biomaterials, chemo-sensory information, and the design of wearable technologies that enhance humans’ relationship to scent.
