Gabriella Torres-Ferrer
Gabriella Torres-Ferrer (*1987 in Arecibo, PR) centres his work around the power dynamics and production systems of our interconnected globalized world. In installations, videos and web-based interventions they examine social transformations and how digital reality newly defines society’s view of nature. Torres-Ferrer combines everyday organic products and packaging with microcomputers that show codes of market development and the data that illustrate the inextricable interconnection of the technological present age. Torres-Ferrer’s trans-medial practice aims at breaking open and scrutinizing current hegemonial narratives by questioning interfaces, viewpoints and materiality, pointing to neo-colonial landscapes, internet culture and ecology.
Gabriella Torres-Ferrer was awarded the Artist-in-Residence-stipend at the Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart for 2020–2021 and received an honorary mention as guest artist at CERN Collide in Geneva. Recently works have been shown at a solo exhibition at Liste in Basel (2022), in exhibitions at The Wrong Digital Art Biennale in São Paulo, Mexiko-City, San Juan und Santo Domingo (2022) and at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (2022 und 2017), as well as at the Medial Arts Bienniale in Santiago (2021), at the National Museum of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kinshasa (2021) und at the Centre de la Image in Barcelona (2019).
