Litto @ Work

#newreality

So. You’re starving. Figuratively.

Ordering a pizza has never been simpler. Or, if you’re feeling really adventurous, you could google a recipe for original Italian dough, put on a Youtube-tutorial, skype with a college friend from Rome, remotely set the right temperature, instagram your freshly made pizza and post a witty article about the newfound ease of Italian pizzacraft on your lifestyle blog. Congratulations. New media has made you an expert on baked goods and while you’re munching on thinly sliced goodness, arguing politics on twitter you come accross a hashtag. #NOTJUSTANUMBER And suddenly, from the comfort of your home, within the dozing smell of molten cheese, you’re thrust into the lives and afterimages of those who went loudly and are remembered in silence.

Bio

Litto works on system-, net- and media art. Most of her work happens in public space, where she creates participative augmented reality installations and performances. Sometimes she builds her own immersive devices In 2020 she co-founded “SystemKollektiv”, an artist run ngo that created, develops and curates the “Artificial Museum”. Her background in business administration helped her turn what started as an artistic idea into a worldwide platform for digital augmented reality art in public space. She has, both as artist and curator, collaborated with museums, institutions, collectives and artists from all over the world.

Statement

My artistic research focuses on the perception of self through and by others. My mediums are the internet, augmented reality, and public spaces, which, through customized interfaces, transform and merge into places of encounter, fostering direct, informal, and often unexpected interactions between art and observer. I use the mirror as an interface, a device. It has a spirit and it interests me how mirrors change our perception of space. I use it to reflect on our networked culture and society. Behind the mirror, the performer enjoys a sphere of private space, a time where they are not an object, not an image.
