Oana Clitan

conceptueel - digitaal - digitale technologie - installatie - internet - media

Oana Clitan is an artist and designer exploring how language and contemporary communication are influenced by technology and media.

In her multidisciplinary practice she likes to remix and recontextualize existing materials - contemporary visuals found on the internet or old archive materials. Her works range from multi-screen installations to intricate drawings and digitally printed textiles.

Through building various narratives and dystopian scenarios, in her latest projects she addresses themes such as propaganda and rhetorics about technology, the post-truth society and the expression of online identity. One persistent point of interest is the transition between communicating with text to communicating with images in online conversations and the use of animated GIFs as rhetorical devices.
