bio
Currently attending the C:Art:Media Master Program, of the Valand School of Fine Arts and IT University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Graduate student of the Fine Arts and Art Sciences department of the University of Ioannina.
Since 2003 I have been experimenting in various fields of art (painting, sculpture, etching and photography), growing a higher interest in the field of photography in which I realised my thesis project with subject “The part and the whole in photographic representation”. The body of work of my thesis project is mainly digital photo montage. Digital photographs are placed one next to the other and create new forms, shapes and meanings. I mostly deal with the dynamic of the part and how it completes and changes the whole image. I have also used my images to build an interactive construction so that the viewer can change the image.
My first contact with art and technology was in 2005 at the Brera School of Fine Arts in Milan, as an exchange student of the Socrates/Erasmus Program. I had the opportunity of participating in courses like multimedia installations and web design which I found fascinating. I am particularly interested in arts and technology, new media, interactivity, internet, digital photography and video.
As part of my academic course and in order to enrich my knowledge in the field of digital art, I realized my work placement at “Fournos Center For Digital Culture” (March – July 2008), working on the next layer of the web project “InBetween”. The project is dealing with Mavromichali street, the street that “Fournos” is located on.
