FacebookToni Soprano Meneglejte (Slovenia)
Among the events that marked the year 1989 was the introduction of the concept of the World Wide Web. This technological breakthrough triggered a new era – the age of distraction. Toni Soprano Meneglejte is interested in the period after 1989 and how it has shaped memory, the body, and the ways of living. What happens when memory attempts to return to a time when technology was not yet an extension of the human being? In the research project “Error 8925”, memory is not an archive but a dynamic field where the past appears in the form of sonic and spatial flashbacks. Distraction functions as a creative tool, opening up space for chance, surprise, and new meanings.

Toni Soprano Meneglejte is an intermedia artist active since 2015. Her work explores the relationship between the real and the digital, as well as the physical and the imaginary. She creates hybrid spaces that are both tangible and dreamlike—intermediate worlds in which the boundary between reality and its echo gradually dissolves. Her artistic practice spans drawing, photography, sound performances, spatial design, video and light installations, as well as digital projects on social media. She studied architecture at the Technical University of Graz, attended the School for Artistic Photography Friedl Kubelka, and graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in the Department of Art and Photography.
