University of Applied Arts
Martina Menegon is an artist, curator, art educator and PhD researcher living and working between Vienna and the cyberspace. Martina is Senior Artist and Lecturer at the Transmedia Art department at the University of Applied Arts (die Angewandte) in Vienna, where she teaches “Digital Design and Virtuality”.
In her artistic practice, Martina creates intimate and complex assemblages of physical and virtual elements that explore the contemporary self and its hybrid corporeality. Using (and misusing) game engines, algorithms and the virtual, she experiments with various forms of performative and glitched self-portraitures, exploring new simulated fluid identities and creating uncanny, interactive and disorienting experiences that become perceivable despite their virtual nature.
