Daniele Hopkins

Daniele Hopkins is a Toronto-based intermedia artist and founder and executive director of Electric Perfume, a studio-gallery focusing on experiential arts through exhibitions, events, workshops, socials, and development/playtesting.
Daniele organizes and curates showcase and learning opportunities for creators, while also developing interactive and experiential installation projects for offsite events, venues, galleries, and commercial clients.
Daniele is passionate about teaching and mentorship, both in Toronto, and as a visiting artist engaging indigenous youth within their communities across Canada.
She has served on the board of directors for Musicworks Magazine, The Hand-Eye Society, and Gallery X Scarborough. Most of her projects are an exploration of intersections between nature, technology, sculpture, sound, and interactivity, and the sculptural component of her works is commonly based in discarded, obsolete, or found materials. Daniele is a lover of insects, and she often looks for subtle methods of incorporating their enigmatic beauty in her projects.
