She is also a Toronto-based film and video artist. Her recent projects include Shapes Eat Shapes (2006), and 4C (2005).

She is an active member of the L.O.T. collective, as well as the LOOP collective of independent media artists in Toronto.

Experience, Real Bodies, Real Space
The following panel ( Elder, Joosse, Pruska-Oldenhof) consists of three coordinated presentations that work together and subject some of the themes of recent writings on virtual space and telepresence to critical scrutiny. Angela Joosse will talk about Steve Mann and space, tracing his ideas of the virtual back to the excitement felt by the early twentieth century artists in relating their ideas of a new space, the "new man", and a new, electric and dynamic art to Dziga Vertov's theories.
