Mary Elias Letera is an intermedia artist, performer, and software developer who creates with light, sound, and dance. As a software developer and dancer she enjoys seeing technology highlighted with the specific intention of encouraging deeper embodied experiences. Mary's practice incorporates movement and programming via motion-capture technology to produce video, audiovisual, and mixed-media performances, injecting the organic into the predictable and sometimes sterile world of coding. She is currently a Master’s student at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she is studying Creative Technology and Design, and has studied belly dance and various forms of street and club dances with teachers from around the world, which informs the rhythmic and aesthetic sensibilities of her audiovisual compositions.
