Konstantina Mavridou is a Greek multidisciplinary artist based in Thessaloniki. She creates reflective spaces questioning our thinking and actions within social structures through installations. Konstantina’s work is influenced by various sciences, mathematics, and philosophies, projected onto current technological trends. The whole's invisibility and incalculability necessitate a new way of seeing, reconnecting us with our environment through observation and understanding of invisible dynamics and hybrid encounters. The working process is conceptual and based on long experimentation, from initial sketches to crucial decisions, inspired by technological trends affecting perception and mentality shifts. Using a-signifying semiotics, she barely alters everyday ready-made electric, electronic or super smart high-tech devices, creating unexpected settings, exploring human understanding by also using sound, light, and space to set specific environmental conditions for the work. She places devices within these conditions, tuning and observing their behaviour until they form an unexpected whole, which she then recognizes and lets it be. She views economic and political processes through different lenses, exposing an altered view of the phenomena, stripping content, allowing meanings to be explored by viewers, believing a-signification forms new creative spaces within the work’s limitations. She mostly acts as an enabler, setting conditions for the work to come alive.
