About

Lotta Stöver is an emerging artist in the fields of media, technologies and research. Her works engage with phenomena and matters as they converse, align, disobey, transform, de/transition and mutate along with (new) technologies. Through processes of poetic engineering, digital imaging methods, writing, and involving data and matter in an embedded and embodied manner, her artifacts pose questions about (social) norms implied by natural and technological environments. Her work forms around this materially thinking-with the social domain of technologies, resulting in observations, critique, queer alternatives and utopian proposals.

She works in various formats as installations, electronics, software, photographs, writing and publications. She is a founding member and co-editor of the ongoing techno-feminist publication series href zine.

She holds a BA + MA of Arts in Digital Media at the University of the Arts Bremen (Germany), where she is currently based.
