JOLINE BLAIS

Joline is Associate Professor of New Media.  Her work explores digital narrative
and digital design tools to support regenerative communities & ecosystems.  She
teaches courses in Designing Humane Tech, Digital Narrative, Designing Websites
for Community Partners, and Digital Photography & Storytelling.

She co-directs the Still Water lab, is a faculty advisor on the Terrell House
Permaculture Project, and founded LongGreenHouse, a collaboration between the
Wabanaki and university communities.

Joline is a co-founding partner of the Belfast Cohousing & Ecovillage, a
net-zero community whose design won the 2011 Green Project of the Year.

Her book At the Edge of Art (2006) investigates how new strategies of
empowerment work in communities of new media artists, and how these practices
reshape art and real world contexts.

Joline’s ongoing work with wild blueberry growers reflects her commitment to
Maine’s ecologies and economies. She has enlisted New Media students in service
learning projects to document wild blueberry growers, and to create the Wild
Blueberry Heritage Center website.

As President of the Wild Blueberry Heritage Center board, she works with Island
Institute and AmeriCorps VISA staff to develop this gateway to Downeast Maine at
an iconic site in Columbia Falls. Her Still Water Ripple initiative, meanwhile,
has garnered support from Maine’s Wild Blueberry Commission for a dozen websites
for small blueberry growers and organizations developed by interns under her
supervision. Other recent projects include a partnership with SYRA (Sustainable
Year Round Agriculture, an MTI cluster)  called Mag App, an application to help
Maine farmers aggregate sensor data for greenhouses to allow them to grow food
all year round.

The Still Water Ripple Initiative builds on these student/community partnerships
to invigorate learning and support thriving communities in Maine.
