Belinda Haikes is an interdisciplinary artist working in social media, digital media and, drawing. Influenced by having lived in three countries by the time she was 15, her work is centered on the poetics of identity construction in the post-human world and how technology creates connections to each other through art. Recent exhibitions include the Asian Arts Initiative, Philadelphia, Los Angeles Center for the Digital Art, Village Nomad, France, Digital Fringe, Australia, and the Weatherspoon Museum in North Carolina.

Currently a PhD candidate in the Media Art and Text Program at Virginia Commonwealth University, Belinda’s dissertation focuses on how intimacy is constructed through the technologically constructed work of art. She also runs two blogs, Life, the Universe and Art an artist interview blog and I Love Mark Making, a studio blog that investigates drawing in a post- material world. She currently holds the position of Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, teaching in the digital design department.
