Corrina Espinosa is a classically trained digital renegade — a new media artist, educator, and collagist operating at the unstable intersection of augmented reality, artificial intelligence, glitch aesthetics, and interactive electronics. She is the Founder and Director of Denver Digital Land Grab — a DIY grassroots AR platform and artist collective building a digital third space that doesn't ask permission, and doesn't take no for an answer.
She is an Assistant Teaching Professor of Digital Art in CU Boulder's IMAP program — Interdisciplinary Media Arts Practices — where technology-based art meets photo imaging, video, digital media, sound, performance, kinetics, printmaking, and every hybrid form in between. Her work has been exhibited at the Denver Art Museum, Meow Wolf, BMoCA, and internationally in Barcelona, Bosnia, South Korea and Rome.
She Frankensteins everything. Collage is her primary medium and her primary mode of thinking: taking disparate things, making them touch, seeing what happens. Her phantom AR animals still roam a park in Arvada.
Site-specific AR installation digitally resurrecting two destroyed monuments: the Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington D.C. and the Pulse nightclub rainbow crosswalk in Orlando. Co-created with Molly Valentine Dierks. GPS-triggered. No app required. No permission asked.
A co-authored book with Mark Amerika & Michael Theodore exploring AI hallucinations as creative material, the collective unconscious embedded in training data, and what authorship even means anymore. Co-authored with Claude. Sign-off: "Inhumanly co-authored with the collective unconscious — everything human, concentrated."
7 poets × 7 visual artists. GPS-triggered AR poetry installations embedded in civic space across Denver. A living archive of this exact moment, waiting for the future to find it. RIO Arts & Humanities Grant recipient.
The founding exhibition of Denver Digital Land Grab. 300+ works, 100+ Colorado artists, 12 walkable clusters from Aurora to Boulder. Unfunded. Volunteer-built. Still live. Winner: Denver Westword Best Renegade Art Show, 2023.
A major series of 2D AR prints and 3D kinetic TV collage sculptures with audio. The vintage television as recurring symbol: intimate ideological apparatus, one-way portal simulating reciprocity, archive with an eraser built in, prehistory of the surveillance economy.
