Camille Intson (she/her) is an award-winning artist and scholar of technology, performance, and research-creation based in Tkarón:to/Toronto.

My research examines how contemporary performance practices transform our sociopolitical and embodied understandings of digital technologies. My artistic work spans writing, performance, new and computational media, music, and installation. I have a PhD in Information from the University of Toronto, where I am currently Assistant Professor (Teaching Stream, CLTA) in the Faculty of Information.

​

My ongoing projects include Bisexual Bedroom Imaginaries, a virtual reality-based exhibit of queer ephemera; the Trans-Feminist-Queer Transformer, a GPT-2 model fine-tuned on queer and trans-feminist lyrical poetry, programmed for live performance; and JANE, an intermedial theatre piece which examines critical ethico-political considerations of deepfake technology.

​​

My writing on technology, performance, and artistic research has appeared or is forthcoming in venues including Women & Performance, the International Journal of Performing Arts and Digital Media, Interdisciplinary Digital Engagement in Arts & Humanities, Hyperrhiz: New Media Cultures, and the Journal of Literary and Intermedial Crossings, among others. I have developed and taught courses on performance and new media art, culture and technology, information infrastructures, scriptwriting and dramaturgy, and GLAM cultural heritage practices. My research has been supported by a SSHRC Canada Graduate Research Scholarship—Doctoral Award, a University of Toronto Centre for Culture and Technology Graduate Fellowship, and a Hilda Wilson Fellowship in Technology, Information, and Culture.
