trained at University of Tartu

Katja Novitskova (1984) deals in her work with the depiction of evolutional development, using internet as the source of visual data. In the early 2010s, she was among the first artists, who took post-internet for subject matter and designed its aesthetics. Novitskova’s situates in the crossing of visual culture and science fiction, inducing discomfort and enstrangement by blending futuristic fantasy with everyday reality. In general, Novitskova works in installative method, using photo-sculptures as her main medium. ” is a pioneering handbook, which offers solutions for coping with the situation in which internet has become a pre-condition and therefore the senses of a human-being are flooded with signs. In 2017, Katja Novitskova represented Estonia in 57th Venice Biennial with the exhibition “ ”, which focused on the digital culture of contemporary times, looking back at it from a science-fictional position, when the world as we know it today, didn’t exist. That brought up questions of recognizing the hi-tech reality – who dares to say that the actual life is fantastic film and future is now?
