BACKGROUND AND AREAS OF EXPERTISE

From my early years as an art student in Melbourne, Australia to practicing as an artist in the vibrant scenes of Singapore, Tokyo, San Francisco & Europe, my journey has never been that of a traditional academic. As a co-founder of the art band Chicks on Speed, I've collaboratively extended the domains of art, fashion, pop music and technology. This path led me to pursue a Ph.D. at Creativity and Cognition Studios, Department of Engineering and IT, The University of Technology Sydney, where my focus on analogue & digital musical body-centric Instrument creation for performance has solidified my commitment to merging craft with technological sustainovation. 

Currently serving as a Professor of Digital Performance at the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art, NTNU, my endeavors reach well beyond the conventional bounds of academia, interfacing directly with industry. A notable example of this is my advisory role at the Sonar Festival in Barcelona (Sonar +D), where I advise on Artistic Research and Entrepreneurship. This role exemplifies my dedication to nurturing synergies between the academic world, pop music, art and industry, to build innovative collaborations, aiming to create a symbiotic relationship that drives forward and blurs the boundaries of each field.

Moreover, my commitment to public engagement and educational enrichment is exemplified through my honorary Professor appointment at the University of Technology Sydney's School of Computer Science, Faculty of Engineering and IT. Here, I continue to engage with collaborative cutting-edge research and development, fostering a bridge that not only spans across scientific disciplines but also connects academia directly with the broader community.

Research

Alex Murray-Leslie stands out as an artistic researcher and performer, specializing in the innovative realms of hybrid Telematic & StreamArt (UKRAiNATV 2020) improvisation and the expansion of audiovisual network technology frontiers. As a co-founder of art collective Chicks on Speed, she has co-written over 150 pop songs and 10 albums, and has crafted numerous sensory sculptures / GESAMTKUNSTWERKS for prominent art institutions and major cultural events.
 
 
At the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Murray-Leslie's research is deeply embedded in Transgenerational Community based Telematic Art making, nurturing an open-ended process of real-time collaborative audiovisual, performative reflexive interaction and exchange.

She explores the potential futures of our transition from physical to virtual experiences while seeking novel, critical approaches to digital performance through technological advancements, encouraging 'glocal' (global-local) collaborations at the intersection of art, science, technology, and society. Her work often uses pop music as a driver, enriched by her involvement in ambitious Norwegian and EU mission-driven research projects, bringing scientific and artistic research concepts to life.

In the 2023/24 period, Murray-Leslie plays a pivotal role in selecting EU/Scandinavian art schools and universities to participate in Sonar +D, Sonar Festival Barcelona. This initiative focuses on key themes; Women in Artificial Intelligence, examining the interplay between AI and music, addressing the Climate Crisis and Telematic Transcultural Collaboration in the arts through Artistic Research and Artistic Entrepreneurship.
