Jihane Mossalim is an artist, educator, and PhD student in Art Education at Concordia University whose research explores how movement between conventional art materials (graphite, paint, clay), digital interfaces, and generative AI systems shapes experiences of making within elementary art classrooms. Drawing on post-phenomenology and arts-based research, her work examines how different material systems mediate perception, embodiment, temporality, interpretation, and relational forms of engagement as students move across changing conditions of making. She is particularly interested in what becomes perceptible through these transitions, including how sensory, embodied, and interpretive experiences are reorganized through interactions with tactile materials, interfaces, and AI-mediated systems. Her research is supervised by Dr. jessie beier.

Alongside her academic work, her artistic practice explores memory, temporality, and human–machine relations through painting and generative processes. Her work often combines traditional materials with digital and AI-mediated systems, examining how contemporary technologies reorganize perception, sensory experience, and the act of making itself within educational and artistic contexts. She is an active member of The Learning Machines led by Dr. jessie beier, and The STAC collective led by Dr. David LeRue.
