Cibelle Cavalli Bastos

Cibelle Cavalli Bastos's practice as research engages with the changing conceptualisation of identity, performativity, pictorial communication and the propagation of behavioural patterns in the digital age. It observes the challenges to perception and cognition under a white-supremacist cis-hetero-normative patriarchal psyche turbo-powered by platform capitalism and explores how counter-discourses, that challenge dominant narratives around sociopolitical issues, can be embedded or used as a form of resistance against the propagation of algorithmic behaviour both IRL and the digital sphere. Striving for subjective, rather than formal consistency, material investigation probes the subconscious resulting in works that formally operate in the liminal space and the non-retinal. Material and ready-mades here are tangible, conceptual as well as digital. All works occur on the intersection of purpose, occasion, and site-specificity expressed interdisciplinarity through performance-related work, interplatform and immersive installations, AR/ML/AI, lectures, workshops, musical and text-based work, as well as individual formally resolute pieces.
