Lotta Stöver

My name is Lotta Stöver (*1996) and I am currently based in Weimar/Bremen (Germany). I work as an artist in the fields of media, technologies and research.

My works engage with phenomena, energies and matters where they converse, disobey, transform, de/transition, resist and mutate along with new technologies. Through processes of poetic engineering and experimental imaging methods, my practice focuses on data and material through an embedded and embodied lens. I have a deep interest in the geo/psycho/techno/physio/bio/electro/media networks around and within us. Often my works are spread out over those intersections and materialize as interactive installations, imaging objects and kinetic sculptures, incorporating electronics, self-built machines and hand-written texts, both executable and readable. With my work I aim to question and subvert the dominant narratives of our largely technologically-mediated social reality, and instead try to enact alternative technological (and non-technological) immediacies.

From 2015 - 2023 I studied Digital Media at the University of the Arts Bremen (Germany). Besides my emerging art practice, I work as an artistic associate in the Media Arts program of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar.
