Kyriaki Goni Her video The Portal or Let\u2019s Stand Still for the Whales <\/em>addresses an imaginary, future inhabitant of the Earth. It speaks of the intensity of the climate and humanitarian crisis, and the aftermath of the coronavirus crisis, such as biometric surveillance and the mass deterritorialisation of labour and human communication. It advocates for the necessity to create new languages of understanding, care and proximity towards human and non-human beings. As ecosystems within ecosystems, the work argues for the necessity to create new languages of understanding, care and proximity towards other humans and other-than-humans.<\/p>\n Kyriaki Goni\u2019s work explores issues such as the power of information, alternative digital networks, the construction of the digital self, and the human \u2013 machine interaction. Working across disciplines and technologies, she creates expanded, multi-layered installations. She connects the local with the global by critically examining questions of surveillance, distributed networks and infrastructures, ecosystems, as well as human and other than human relations.<\/p>\n The artwork was commissioned by PCAI in 2020 on the occasion of the online exhibition Anthropocene on hold.<\/em><\/p>\n \u0392iography<\/p>\n Kyriaki Goni was born in Athens where she lives and works.\u00a0 She holds a BA in Visual Arts and an MA in Digital Arts (Athens School of Fine Arts) as well as graduate and postgraduate degrees on Social and Cultural Anthropology in Athens and in Leiden, Netherlands.
