Elina Lex is an interdisciplinary researcher and media artist working across XR technologies, interactive documentary, digital and sensory ethnography, and environmental histories.
Her current research-creation work engages with immersive storytelling (XR/AR/VR), digital archival practices, and critical heritage studies, exploring how immersive reality technologies might generate insights for novel archival practices that centre critical, audiovisual, and sensory modes of access and reuse. Her current graduate work is an XR project exploring living archives, coastal histories at the margin, and heritage futures on the ever-changing salt marshes of the Chignecto Isthmus.
