Martina Menegon
ABOUT
Martina’s artistic practice explore the mechanics of embodiment in digital and extended realities, and the hybrid, chimeric nature of the contemporary self. At the core, lies the figuration of a hybrid, shapeshifting selfhood that embraces fragmentation, multiplicity, glitches, and the poetics of the in-between.
