UNKTUKNO is an emerging self-taught visual artist based in Porto, Portugal, who sculpts darkness with digital light. Originally from Brașov, Romania, UNKTUKNO discovered her enthusiasm for the arts at a young age and studied contemporary dance. With a deep interest in both art and technology, she specialised in conceiving, choreographing and producing interactive multimedia dance performances. UNKTUKNO is also a performer and a teacher of contemporary dance— nurturing a profound connection with movement.
Around 2019, her artistic practice reached a turning point as she developed a fascination for digital art. She approaches digital media like the body in motion, exploring the possibilities that arise from the process of creation.
In the here and now, she describes herself as a digital weaver who experiments within the realm of abstraction, drawing inspiration from the powerful symbols and geometric shapes stitched on Romanian traditional textiles. Her creative process is grounded in deconstructing these patterns and using them as a means to uncover a new digital aesthetic while revealing a new vision.
LUME Studios brings 'HOMAGE' to NYC to showcase Accelerate Art & Art Bees Gallery's tribute exhibition to Constantin Brancusi. Featuring 47 digital artworks made in conversation with Brancusi's legacy, curated by Claire Silver & NONE32X32.
The act of homage—of creation, in conversation with the work of another artist—reminds us that art is a living thing. Even Pleistocene cave art and the megaliths of Stonehenge still inspire; it is only natural that some of the world’s most innovative digital artists have joined together to celebrate the work of Constantin Brancusi with their own original creations.
Organised by Art Bees in partnership with Accelerate Art and hosted by the Constantin Brancusi Center of the Craiova Museum, HOMAGE will feature works from forty-eight digital artists, taking inspiration from Brancusi’s work and life.
The curators for this exhibition were NONE32X32 and Claire Silver with NONE32X32 curating the 18 featured artists and Claire Silver, the 30 artists who responded to an Accelerate Art open call thread on Twitter.
