  • OCAD University At-Large Faculty Senator Elections 2016 List of Candidates
    OCAD University At-Large Faculty Senator Elections 2016 List of Candidates: Michelle Astrug (Faculty of Design) Michelle Astrug is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Design, teaching in Graphic Design. She is applying for senate because she is interested in actively participating in University governance. Claire Brunet (Faculty of Art) Claire Brunet is a sculptor and Associate Professor in Media and installation art; Sculpture/Installation program and Fabrication Studio Bronze Casting and Digital Processes at OCAD University in Toronto. In June 2014 Brunet completed a PhD degree in Fine Arts, in the Interdisciplinary Program (INDI) at Concordia University in Montreal. Her research work explores expanded spatial boundaries and the influence of a 3D digital and technological context on the artist’s creative process in sculpture practice. Brunet’s sculpture project proposes opposing temporal forces—a 3D digital and technological spatial approach as a mode of production, in opposition to a critical discourse in regard to living species and their relation to their natural environment—which stresses the opposing values of an hypermodern society (Lipovetsky 2005). Brunet has presented projects and papers at conferences in New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Greece and Canada. Her publications include: Exploring Data Space, in The Faculty of Art Newsletter (OCAD U, Toronto, 2012); “Extending Spatial Boundaries Through Sculpture Practices: Exploring Natural and 3D Technological Environments” in The International Journal of the Arts in Society (Illinois: CG Publishing, 2012); McLuhan and Extended Environment: Affect and Effect of a 3D Digital Medium on Sculpture Practice, in Y.
