Floriama Candea (b. 1984, Bechet, Romania)

Floriama Candea explores the dynamics between objects and the way we perceive them by creating hybrid visual identities. Her versatile toolkit spans interactive, kinetic, and video installations to sculpture, experimental electronics, drawing, and printing, with an additional focus on creating visuals using bio-based materials. With the complex relation between science, philosophy and tech, at the core of her artistic practice, she questions our role as well as the stakes of the Anthropocene, at the dawn of a possible new era. Through her installations, she challenges our beliefs and encourage us to re-evaluate our mental constructs that shape our understanding of the present and, by extension, our future. This way, they activate our imagination and function as gateways to alternative narratives and scenarios.

She is the co-founder of Qolony, a Bucharest-based cultural NGO dedicated to creating bridges between various disciplines and communities of professionals. Those include contemporary artists, scientific researchers and diverse technologists, all brought together by their passion for interdisciplinary practices and its creative outcomes.
