Emiddio Vasquez
Born in Dominican Republic and raised in Cyprus, Oswaldo Emiddio Vasquez Hadjilyra works at the interstice of media art, continental philosophy and mathematical thinking. He holds a PhD in Media Arts and Sciences from ASU, with a dissertation (2025) titled What Counts as Matter Computation and Resonant Media. His current research looks at analog media and alternative modes of computation in order to methodologically rethink digitality. His earlier studies include a BS in Mathematics and Statistics and a BA in Philosophy from Miami University where he studied under a Fulbright Scholarship, and an MA in Modern European Philosophy from the CRMEP. Emiddio’s research-creation includes a series of sound and art installations, notably the collective exhibition On a wildflower-lined gravel track off a quiet thoroughfare… featured at the Cyprus Pavilion at the 2024 Biennale di Venezia.
