Artist's Statement
My work investigates informational power over contemporary society.
I'm particularly interested in how specific arrangements of information influence the creation and perception of political, cultural and economic reality, as well as personal emotional states, interpersonal relationships and instinctive human behavior.
Through cognitive, sociological and political approaches, my work looks at the contemporary transformations brought about by new trends in communication and media.
The profusion of media and the enormous consumption and production of information nowadays is the exciting field where my artistic creations address the mediated reality of specific audiences.
