"Concerned with our relationship with the digital realm and human nature, I explore post-human thought, utilise post-digital reality and speculate about the future. As a method, I employ metaphysical investigations and aspects of digital culture using technology that I find familiarity with - from old media to new media and simulation video games. Extending my research to the exploration of truth and myth, I look for processes and origins of the real and the artifice. In my works I investigate into the intersection of the digital and the tangible, looking at the relationship between digital technology and the human in a world increasingly governed by algorithms. I also explore gender and gender representation, as part of my identity is being a full-time woman." Letta Shtohryn [2]
