Daria Zhest

I create complex multi-dimensional digital work CGI software, programing software and video, an Open-source electronic prototyping platform Arduino, interactive installation, motion graphics, and particle systems that I then output to the analogue world in different forms. The body of work is developed from sketch with use of prototypes that lead to a final result. Each concept of the piece is project-specific, but the overall theme stands in between I new media and technology along with core concepts that fall behind the process of reproduction and the digital. I believe in algorithmic structures of existence, from complex universal movements to personal motives of routine everyday life; all and beyond of these things can be defined by algorithmic means, broken down and scrutinized. Essentially through my practice, what lies ahead for me is to seek a path toward transhumanism and perpetuate refinement of the mechanisms of a computer structure, that in further development can speak for itself.
