SilvanaCallegari

Silvana Callegari is a Colombian media artist, specializing in the Extended Realities field. Her work researches the persistent and uncanny entanglements that new media has while connecting with the paranormal and haunting phenomena. In which post-human discourses surrounding our digital-bodies and hyperreality, explore the existential interactions with the screen, and tele-technologies’ ability to become new digital séances of the other-worldly. Callegari forms digital experiences, specifically with AR and VR, that intend to bridge technical augmentation and ontological mutation, with supernatural and disturbing consequences. With recurring themes of hauntology, agency, and the spectral-turn, Callegari seeks to question when our borders of screen and gaze, body and machine, real and the virtual, (un)intentionally break and collapse in themselves and produce new digital compressions of cyber alchemy, and a reality possessed by itself.
