Cripto Sirenas

For her newest work cycle „Cripto Sirenas“ Anna Ehrenstein teamed up with austrian artist Sunny Pfalzer and the San Salvador based artists Lucy Tomasino and Alexa Evangelista, as well as the web3 researcher Josh Davila. Cripto Sirenas is collaborative sci-fi fable and multi-media worldbuilding venture centered around a collaborative 360° video work and extending through installation, sculptures and mixed-media photographic works. The cycle speculates on tech-solutionism, totalitarian algorithms, and their impact on our bodies through an eco- or hydro-feminist lens, rethinking crypto-colonialist extractivism through the interconnectedness of bodies of water.
