[DANK TALKS] S()fia Braga: Platform Workshippers
Join us for an artist talk with S()fia Braga, presenting her work Platform Workshippers (2023–2025), currently on view in the group show „Platform Wars“ at Camera Austria Graz. The installation explores the logics of centralized platforms, self-marketing, and digital labor—from daily vloggers and NPC streamers to WIII-GRWM creators—and connects these practices to the tree of life as a mythological-religious symbol. Braga highlights how platform work can be both labor and ritual, revealing the power dynamics at play.
The event is a cooperation with Camera Austria Graz and will be held in English.
S()fia Braga (b. 1991) is an Italian transmedia artist and a leading voice in AI-driven cinematic storytelling based in Vienna. Her work explores emerging technologies with a focus on human–non-human collaboration, more-than-human agency, and the power dynamics of centralized social media platforms.
Die Veranstaltung findet im Rahmen des Projekts DANK TALKS des DANK IMAGES Research Networks statt. Alle Interessierten sind herzlich Willkommen!
