I do not wish to be perceived is a self portrait seeping through the ether not only to be reconstructed through the materiality of paint.

Untitled by Arca

/ CIRCA 20:22, London, Los Angeles, Milan, Melbourne, New York, Seoul, Tokyo
/ Video (GAN training)



Blurring the line between art and technology, Arca trained an algorithm with 31 images of her mixed media paintings, allowing these material real-world artworks to transcend the physical realm to debut her emergence as a visual artist on the global stage.

“I hope you are compelled by these interpolated paintings of mine to take a moment and let the visual ASMR produce pleasure, allow for a moment of respite and solace, the experience of warped beauty.”

The ground-breaking experimental artist, Arca invites audiences to enter into a sci-fi playground for Untitled, CIRCA’s new commission which premiered on Piccadilly Lights in London and on a global network of screens in Los Angeles, Milan, Melbourne, New York, Seoul and Tokyo on New Year’s Day and throughout January 2022 daily at 20:22.

A 10 minute special of the film was broadcasted on Blue Monday, also known as the most depressing day of the year, as a meditation remedy to fight off the blues.

I looked at Myself and Myself stared back at me

/ 2021
/ Video performance

I looked at Myself and Myself stared back at me is an experimental film blending and bending the boundaries of ancient greek mythology, animation and surrealism. This piece of work embeds all that is popular culture in strong visuals, giving the concept of alter egos a new glam, kitsch approach.

The video received the LUX Best Moving Image Award 2021 from Wimbledon College of Arts.

I am You, You are Me

/ CIRCA PRIZE: CIRCA x Dazed
Class of 2021
/ Video (AI)

As a person who creates and enacts their identity through human interactions, I explored how this blend of influences can be translated through the feedback loops of a machine. Our bodies have become digital carriers of relations, feelings and memories, but how is essence transmitted through an interactive screen?
This piece poses and answers this question by transcending the constraints of reality and humanity, unveiling a layer of the ghost in the machine and giving it the freedom to imagine and create by its own laws.

The film was chosen to be part of CIRCA x Dazed Class of 2021 and was shown on September 2021 at Piccadilly Lights in London Coex, K-Pop Square, Seoul and Yunika Vision, Sinjuku, Tokyo.

An exploration of the interconnection of different materials in space and time

Freedom of Space Residency

/ Lalaounis Jewellery Museum, Athens, 2021
/ Painting

In December 2020 I was part of the Freedom of Space residency with Lila Boutari at the Lalaounis Jewellery Museum in Athens. It hosts several jewellery pieces from the antiquity as well as the emblematic collections of Ilias Lalaounis.

For the mural made in collaboration with Lila, the idea was to explore the relationship between Aphrodite and her husband Hephaestus. Hephaestus was the god of smithery and the museum is located on the hill of Hephaestus so decided to use colours like dark browns, reds, oranges and gold to represent him. Aphrodite being the goddess of beauty urged us to use more pastel and light colours, with lighter and more translucent shapes.
