Andrea Zapp  

Andrea Zapp, born in Germany, creates digital “Networked Installation Stages”, art installations that are mixing and referencing real, virtual and online spaces. Recent research also includes “Media, Miniature and Shifting Scales” as another reflective format of installation architecture and digital habitat. Ongoing experiments take these ideas further into “Textile Media”, combining narrative and digital imagery with fabric print and fashion design, embroidery and sculpture. She has edited two books, Networked Narrative Environments as imaginary spaces of being, MMU/FACT Liverpool, 2004; and New Screen Media, Cinema/Art/Narrative, BFI, London, 2002, (with Martin Rieser).
She curated international Media Art exhibitions - StoryRooms, Networked Media Art & Installations, at The Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, Oct 05 to Jan 06 and The World is My Imagination, Media-Model-Miniature, at CUBE Gallery Manchester, Sept to Nov 2007; POI – Moving, Mapping, Memory, at Cornerhouse Manchester, June 2009 and "Analogue is the New Digital", in collaboration with Simon Blackmore, that took place across the City Centre of Manchester in October 2010.
She has lectured and shown her artworks at numerous national and international venues, exhibitions and festivals since the Mid Nineties. She is a Senior Research Fellow for Media Arts at Manchester Metropolitan University, School of Art and Media; and Programme Leader of the MA Media Lab (Postgraduate Creative Media Practice with MA's in Filmmaking, Photography, Media Arts and Film&Media Studies).
