Born in Japan, Eri possesses deep understanding of cultural differences and effective ways of communicating with contractors working halfway around the world. She is certified as a Project Manager Professional (PMP) and a member of both the Houston and Japan chapter of Project Management Institute.

Eri’s expertise includes content management system projects and extends to business intelligence, video production as well as online marketing strategy development.

Outside of work, she enjoys running and working out. She is a marathoner and hoping to break into the triathlon scene near in the future.

Individuality and style is something that is important to me. I have an obsession and love for futurism and technology.  My image, fashion, art, music and interests in general tend to reflect this.  I adore anything that is metallic, monochromatic, sleek and edgy.  I’m pierced and tattooed and usually stick to my colour scheme of black, silver and blue.

On a creative level, photography is my chosen way of shaping reality.  I love manipulating light and textures to provoke an emotional or cognitive response in an audience (or often just myself).  I shoot with a Canon 5D and a simple strobist setup (580exII + brolly).

I believe learning is a life long process, both academically and artistically and therefore acknowledge that whilst i may know a lot, I have far more to learn.  You can see some of my stuff at Flickr!

Zina left her job as Editor of Boardroom Magazine in London to travel the world in 1991. She moved to Sydney in 1993 to study at the College of Fine Arts, UNSW. In 1996 she graduated with honours and also received a Research & Development Grant from the Australian Network for Art and Technology. She joined the Riga Latvia based Exchange Network and in 1997, Exchange won the Golden Nica for Interactive Art at Prix Ars Electronica.  In 1999 Zina won grants from the MEDIA programme of the European Union and the Australia Council for the Arts for Observatine, a remote-controlled surveillance aircraft, a smaller version of which subsequently flew at the Farnborough Artists Airshow, UK in 2004. In the same year she also had a major work at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. The Line Ahead connected planes communicating in Melbourne Airport, to LED signs in the gallery.

She is currently juggling being a mother and creating art and producing cross-platform projects for the arts and entertainment industry. She is a partner in House of Laudanum – a company that provides websites and bespoke technical production for games, mobile platforms and other art-based gizmos.

Zina finds inspiration in “big engineering” such as space stations and her work often reflects on the systems that make these things go. She has visited the CERN particle accelerator in Switzerland, the Ventspils Radio telescope in Latvia and the world’s biggest drag-line in Colombia.

Zina especially takes pleasure in constructing scapes and realities from data, observation and playful interface.

I’m working on a couple of side projects in natural language processing and robotics at the moment. You can follow me on Twitter or connect on LinkedIn.
