Dove’s work has been presented in the United States, Europe, and Canada, as well as in print and on radio and television. Her projects include interactive installations: Archeology of a Mother Tongue, (virtual reality) at Banff Centre; Artificial Changelings:premieres: Rotterdam Film Festival, USA; Body Mécanique at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Ohio; Spectropia, a feature-length live-mix movie performance, at Lincoln Center, Scanners, the New York Video Festival 2006; Cleveland at the Ingenuity festival 2007; premiered: Wexner Center for the Arts; REDCAT, LA Nov 2007; the Zero1 Festival of Art on the Edge, San Jose, 2008, EMPAC, Troy NY, 2008, the Kitchen, NYC, 2010, Roulette, NY, 2012.
