Rubin is a new media artist whose work
evolved from imagined memories of
human history to imagined sensations of
plankton. In revealing the unseen, unfelt,
and unnoticed in the waters surrounding
us, she invites us to swim with the
plankton. Currently in residence at the
Menden-Deuer URI Oceanography lab,
she participated in Art Kibbutz NY 2013.
