Rebecca Aston
Rebecca Aston is an artist and creative technologist working with a range of time-based media and computation. She is interested in how bodies exist within the loop of technological systems, focusing on vision and embodied perception. Her recent work explores the perception of texture, creating woven tactile interfaces from hand-spun conductive yarn. Her practice brings traditional textile crafts into dialogue with technological and computational systems, foregrounding the friction between slow, embodied hand-craft and automation.
Rebecca is a founding member of the interdisciplinary art and research collective In-grid. In-grid is a trans*feminist collective of artists/educators/technologists working in and around digital infrastructures. She is a contributor to Servpub, a project developing alternative platforms for research and practice on computational publishing, which reflects on affective infrastructures, minor tech and autonomous networks. A collectively written book about Servpub will be published in 2026. Follow us at @in_grid___
She is a Lecturer in Computing (FHEA) at Goldsmiths University, where she is the Co-Head of the MA/MFA Computational Arts. She is part of the research group Process Iteration Network (PIN) at Goldsmiths, which is currently a partner of n-Space at Somerset House Studios.
Rebecca has a BA in Art from Yale University, Cum Laude with distinction in the major, and an MFA in Computational Arts from Goldsmiths. Rebecca was born and raised in Zimbabwe.
