Robertina Šebjanič

Robertina Šebjanič (SI) is an internationally recognized and exhibited artist/researcher whose work explores the biological, chemical, (geo)political, and cultural realities of aquatic environments, as well as the impact of human activity on other organisms. Her projects emphasize the need for developing empathetic strategies aimed at recognising other (non-human) entities. In her analysis of the Anthropocene and its theoretical framework, the artist uses the terms “aquatocene” and “aquaforming” to describe the human influence on aquatic environments. Her works have earned awards and nominations at Prix Ars Electronica, STARTS Prize, Falling Walls, RE:Humanism.
