Chiara Passa, visual artist (Rome 1973) working in media art since 1997. I am graduated from the Fine Arts Academy of Rome; Master in new audio-visual mediums at the Faculty of Modern Literature. Lived around for several years. Now I am living and working in Rome. My artistic research analyses differences in virtual spaces through a variety of techniques technologies and devices - often using virtual reality and augmented reality technologies as an artistic medium to explore architecture as interface. I use VR to comprise its intrinsic language and so on for shaking-up and challenging the static notion of architecture, by exploring the liminal duality between tangible and virtual place, achieving in art a strange oscillation between spaces. So, I work with animations, net-artworks, interactive and site-specific video-installations and VR video-sculptures and liquid objects. I explore VR in order to create site-specific video installations and video sculptures, using a wide range of google cardboards. Typically, the 3D viewers are installed all over the real space, designing geometric shapes in liminal areas, to highlight the paradox of the modern space-time condition, which nowadays is even more diluted in between physical and liquid space.
