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.

"I'm not interested in seeing the world clearly. I'm interested in the moment it breaks — when distortion stops being an error and becomes a new way of knowing."

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.

Reverie at the Precipice / Portal Juice
