Georine Pierre, an alum and former research affiliate of the City Science group, has been selected as one of 21 artists to receive a digital art commission from the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM). Her commissioned project, "Urban Mining & Regenerative E-Waste Ecosystems," is based on her thesis work—an experimental documentary tracing the global journey of discarded electronics through Old Fadama in Accra, Ghana, one of the world's largest e-waste sites. The project was supported by the City Science group, with Professor Kent Larson as advisor and Professors Gediminas Urbonas and Danielle Wood as thesis readers.
This commission is significant because it marks PAMM's first public open call for digital art, launched in April 2025, which received over 750 submissions from 50 countries. The initiative underscores the museum's commitment to supporting experimental digital artists from South Florida, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the African Diaspora, fostering new models for access, distribution, and scholarship at the crossroads of the Americas. Pierre's selection highlights the growing recognition of digital and time-based media in major museum programs.
