About
Dr. Tagny Duff is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Studies at Concordia University. She is an interdisciplinary media artist, researcher, and educator focusing on the intersection of human bodies, microscopic life, and planetary ecology. Her work emphasizes research-creation, blending art and science to explore contemporary issues in biomedia, digital humanities, and health justice.
Following a medical leave, her current project, Tree of Mind (2025), is an immersive AR and biological art installation co-developed with designer Genevieve Metropolis. This project integrates neuroscience, psychedelic studies, and collaborations with labs such as McGill’s Mechawar Lab (Douglas Research Centre), Refuge, and Murphy Royal Labs at UdM. It employs AI, 3D modeling, and biomedia technologies to address ethical, aesthetic, and methodological shifts in scientific imaging and research-creation practices.
