Biography | |
Associate Prof. Dr. Roslina Ismail, known as Lyne Ismail, is a distinguished visual artist, academic, and researcher specializing in Art-Science Convergence, Neurodiverse Creative Interventions, and Contemporary Abstract Art. Her abstract art reimagines microstructures and biological processes as metaphors for social complexities and personal narratives. Her interdisciplinary research is highlighted in her publication in Leonardo Journal (MIT Press), titled "Object-Oriented Ontology in Shaping Perspectives on Bacterial Art and Non-Human Agency," exploring how non-human actors like bacteria and AI challenge traditional notions of creativity. Her broader inquiry focuses on non-human agency and its societal impact, grounded in Science and Technology Studies (STS). In Cultural Studies, Lyne’s research examines subculture and intangible cultural heritage, including her work on Malaysian female Muslim punks and Islamic aesthetics. She contributes to global discussions on the preservation and reinterpretation of cultural practices through contemporary art. Her RimbaScape Room project addresses neurodiverse mental health, demonstrating art’s transformative potential for social change. Internationally exhibited, including at the Slade School of Fine Arts, Lyne continues to push boundaries in visual culture, technology, and cultural heritage, mentoring emerging scholars and fostering innovation in art and society.
Area of Expertise:
Research and Supervision OpportunitiesI welcome researchers and PhD candidates who are interested in pursuing practice-led research at the crossroads of art and science, digital art, subculture studies, and neurodiverse artistic practices. My approach to supervision is rooted in fostering a collaborative and inclusive research environment, where innovative ideas and interdisciplinary methods converge to produce impactful research that bridges theory and practice. I encourage students to explore the intersections of visual culture, technology, and cultural identity, aiming to create meaningful contributions that resonate both academically and in wider societal contexts
