All welcome.
Kasia Molga is a media artist, environmentalist, hactivist, designer and creative coder, working on intersection of art, science, design and technology whose practice is concerned with changes in our perception and relationship with the planet in the increasingly technologically mediated world. She examines and questions people’s attitudes and position in nature and the environment in the context of climate change and unforeseen futures.
Kasia creates interactive, immersive experiences and narratives, using Open Source and Hardware technologies and techniques, bespokely created electronics, user interfaces and code, but also playing with visuals, animations, film, photography and hand-drawn objects.
She explores aspects of transmitting and manifesting real time environmental and biological data, and seeks to facilitate an agency for sources of that data. That way she attempts to give a beginning to a dialogue between viewers and the source or entity from which the data originates, so that the representation of that data becomes a language of that source.
She has exhibited at FILE Festival 2013 (Sao Paulo), Victoria & Albert Museum, Ars Electronica, TRANSNATURAL, Meta.Morf, ISEA (Istanbul), Translife Media Arts Triennial (Beijing), MIS (Sao Paulo), Dutch Design Week, MOMA (NY).
Her work has also featured in Huffington Post, The Guardian, Wired, Dutch Technology Review and the BBC. She has received many international awards, nominations and accolades, including:
- Wellcome Trust Award for her work on issues concerned with climate change and health of population
- Ars Electronica 2012 Honorary Mention in a category of Hybrid Arts for “Protei” and “Oil Compass”
- Clear Channel Award for “Floresta”, work made for urban screens or Arts Council for 'Mirror of Infinity'.
She is a regular visiting lecturer at Brunel University, consultant for the Interactive Architecture Department an Bartletts School of Architecure, and Principle of Design and Innovation Faculty in Malaysia Limkokwing University of Creative Technologies.
