Martina Menegon
Martina Menegon (1988, Italy) is an artist working with interactive, digital and virtual reality art. She teaches at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and at the Art University in Linz, and regularly collaborates with Klaus Obermaier and Stefano D'Alessio, teaching multimedia tools for interactive arts and creating interactive performances and installations.
Menegon creates intimate and complex assemblages of physical and virtual elements that explore the contemporary self and its synthetic corporeality. Playing with "intellectual uncertainty" and uncanniness while using the virtual as an artistic medium and form of expression, Menegon embraces digital artefacts and imperfections to create virtual, perceivable self-representations that can be sensed and felt despite their digital nature. Martina Menegon is the co-founder of AFK - Away From Keyboard, and a member of the Saloon Wien.
Her work has been exhibited at museums and fairs including Museum Ulm, Goethe Institute München, re:publica Berlin, FILE Festival São Paolo, Institute of Electronic Music Graz, Medienkunstverein Berlin and House of Arts Brno.
