nora sees the interdependence of network nodes in contemporary art as something akin to salsa rueda, or casino rueda, where the rueda (circle) goes round + round, with participants flowing in + out of the circle + each contributing their rhythm + flow within a framework that has rules. these rules are called out by rueda participants—giving the flow an unpredictable + improvisational impetus.
nora was born in the U.S. – all of her immediate family + relatives are from argentina. she graduated in 2005 with an MFA from san josé state university (SJSU) with an emphasis in digital + installation arts.
