Interspace - mixed-media international exhibition at Galeria WY
Visual Arts
This exhibition was curated by me within an international team, supported by the Strzemiński Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź, University of Łódź, and Galeria WY. I was in charge of the curatorial input and conceptualisation. I handled the tech rider, liaised between artists and the gallery, and managed promotional social media campaign on the gallery’s Instagram. An exploration of the progression of mediums in contemporary art, from the formal and material to the conceptual and ephemeral. The exhibition’s main focus is on the transition that appears while going from one state to another. Through non-verbal dialogue, Interspace, erases the border between digital and traditional forms of art and takes into consideration the transgressive experience as a critical form of response to the world of supermodernity. Lodz, Poland, 2024. Artists: Aslı Dinç, Klaudia Pieniak, Magdalena Skotnicka, Maria Belova, Mateusz Pecyna, Nicole Kouts, Patryk Skoczylas, and Veronika Svoyskaya.
Ars Electronica 2022 - essay feature
Visual Arts
Title: “Disembodied Voices and the Familiar Trap of Tech Intimacy" On artistic speculation, disembodied assistants, and the design of empathy At Ars Electronica 2022, the speculative spirit of "Welcome to Planet B: A different life is possible. But how?" filled the campus of JKU Linz with visions of alternate futures. Some works offered warnings. Others clung to fragile hopes; among them, "I Hear Future Voices" by Nives Meloni and Julian Pixel Schmiederer did something quieter but more difficult. It staged the subtle ways in which voice assistant technology already mediates human emotions, often without users noticing the shift.

Inicio - installation assistance
Visual Arts
At PARALLEL Vienna 2022 I assistted a great artist and friend, Roberta Lima, represented by Charim Galerie. The installation “Início” explores alternative materials, intersections between nature and technology, as well as mythology. During my work I assisted with conceptual input, set up the display room, worked with raw materials and interacted with fellow artists and staff to ensure uninhibited setup. Vienna, Austria, 2022
(un)packing - art installation
Visual Arts
Funded by Aalborg University CREATE and Novo Nordisk Foundation in the framework of the Un-disciplinary symposium and exhibition, together with my collective (Aashruti Tripathy, Claudix Vanesix, Hafsa Khan), I created (un)packing. It is a video/projection-mapping installation and a reflection of one’s journey as a transient experience of migration, settling and habitation. The aim is to examine the emotional and material implications of one's chronic movement manifested through various forms of mental longing (Heimweh and Fernweh) in a fast-paced, globalised and heavily mediated social environment. The project features a suitcase and a white mattress in an empty room, as though a newly inhabited space, utilisng projection mapping and GANs to layer the film onto the space. Aalborg, Denmark, 2023.
