Iulia-Dana Pușcașu is a visual artist and researcher in the field of philosophy of art. Her artistic practice is influenced by theoretical research and combines various media, from text and drawing to video and new media. She is interested in reflections on language and meaning, the nature of representations, and the ways in which discursive practices construct the world. Pușcașu graduated with a BA in fine arts and an MPhil in philosophy, and is currently a doctoral candidate at Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, researching authorship in the context of using artificial intelligence for artistic creation. She has participated in national and international film festivals and exhibitions, as well as contributed to art and scientific publications and conferences.
