Anna Valeriya Mikhailova
"As a multidisciplinary artist, I blend techniques from different eras, operating at the convergence of outdated technologies and modern media. My focus lies in the reuse of materials, data, and imagery.
My recent research have centred around urgent issues related to global surveillance, privacy, and the intricate dynamics of data usage. I contemplate how these elements influence our lives and shape the fabric of our society."

In the fall of 2022, FAS launched the “antiwartober” initiative, during which she participated in daily creative tasks.
