Martina Menegon
Martina Menegon (she/her, Italy, 1988) is an artist, curator, educator, and researcher working between Vienna and cyberspace. She is Senior Artist and Lecturer at the Transmedia Art department of the University of Applied Arts Vienna / die Angewandte, and since 2024 a PhD researcher in the Transformation Studies: Art x Science program, jointly organized by die Angewandte and Johannes Kepler University Linz / JKU.
Her practice explores embodiment in digital and extended realities and the hybrid, chimeric nature of contemporary corporeality. Through the use (and misuse) of 3D scanning, game engines, algorithms, and immersive technologies, she creates glitched self-portraitures and interactive environments that confront viewers with uncanny, affective, and often disorienting encounters. Her works reflect on identity and presence, exposing the vulnerability of the hybrid body, the fragmentation of the self, and the poetics of the in-between.
