Michela de Mattei
Michela de Mattei (Rome, 1984) studied Philosophy at Universita di Roma la Sapienza. Michela works across different formats and media, often developing fictional scenarios and unusual ecosystems in which animal-human affairs are hijacked by technologies. In doing so, her works question standards of authority and control, speaking to issues of animal agency and the changing dynamics of communication systems.
