cMAS is a research-creation studio formed by a community of artists, researchers, and scholars working at the intersections of art, science, and technology.

Together, we engage deeply with history, theory, and practice to examine how old and emerging technologies shape cultural narratives, artistic forms, and embodied experiences. Our work is grounded in feminist theories, decolonial perspectives, and research-creation methodologies that value collaboration, situated knowledge, and experimentation as modes of inquiry.

The projects we create investigate the possibilities and implications of working across disciplines. These projects take many forms, including exhibitions, scholarly publications, public performances, experimental videos, generative artworks, digital graphics, printed zines, artists’ books, and other multimodal formats.

cMAS is directed by Dr. Gabriela Aceves Sepúlveda and shares space with Dr. Kate Hennessy’s Making Culture Lab in the School of Interactive Arts and Technology at Simon Fraser University’s Surrey campus. Our work takes place on the unceded territories of the Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen, Kwantlen, Katzie, Kwikwetlem (kʷikʷəƛ̓əm), and Qayqayt First Nations.
