ABOUT
Bianca Schick (b.1994) is an Italian multimedia artist, design researcher, and digital storyteller currently based in the Netherlands. Working across time-based media, graphic design, performance, and installation, her practice reflects on the conditions of the body in the digital realm, worlds emerging from human artifice, contradictions of human productivity, and character development. She is interested in the nuances of her culture and how phenomena that are distant or invisible can have a tangible effect on our everyday life. In particular, she is concerned with the theatricality of societal and political structures and their influence on our social and cultural landscape. Her work riffs on a mixture of references, from corporate language and videogames to karaoke and, more broadly, post-Internet culture.
She is enthralled by the things emerging from the spaces between, crossing the imaginary and the real. Jiggly-wiggly imageries emerge, along with animated hands, body fragments, vocal images, and color.
Bianca often works with the multimedia collective 'gut++ (Alex Foradori and Erik Campanini) and performs with journalist and artist Sofia Topi as 'Scylla.' Besides her artistic endeavors, she is a freelance graphic designer and occasional writer.
