Anastasia Sif Karkazis is an artist, filmmaker, and composer based in London, between her origins in Copenhagen and Chicago. Her practice investigates technologies as mirrors of human desire, tracing the affective, parasocial, and quasi-religious bonds humans form with machines. Through her installations, films and musical performances as Shelly Expose, she reconfigures familiar tools and iconography to reframe perceptions of intimacy, ritual, nature and agency within the digital. Karkazis holds an MA in Computational Arts from Goldsmiths, University of London, and is currently pursuing an MFA in Visual Arts at the Royal Danish Academ
