  • Weronika Wysocka

    In her artistic practice, she often uses visual essays as a discursive model for reflecting on and questioning individual and collective subjectivity. She is particularly interested in the impact of technology on human beings, politics, and nature. In narrative texts, she often uses Newspeak and draw inspiration from messenger platforms and tweets, as reflections of global moods and explain the amplitudes of new emotions at the intersection of the material and virtual world.
