Artist Statement/ Biography

Liliana Farber investigates ways the virtual world redefines the physical one. Using custom-made software and collected material from the Internet, she creates images, installations, and interactive works. These are products of research-based processes, and condense an abundance of information into unsuccessful data visualizations. Farber is interested in the politics embedded in the algorithms we use daily, and in her work she highlights their design ramifications. She builds interfaces that celebrate chaos, and experiences that use frustration as strategy. As potential cartographies of space between the online and offline worlds, her artworks evoke existential reflections to a world co-habited by humans and algorithms.
