Saša Spačal is a media artist with background in humanities, who is currently working at the intersection of living systems research and media art. Her work focuses primarily on the posthuman period, when human beings exist and act as one of many elements in the ecosystem and not sovereigns. This means abandoning the Cartesian system of classification and accepting the fact that the field of technology has expanded not only from hardware to software but also to wetware, resulting in hybrid phenomena inscribed in mechanical, digital and organic logic. Her works have been presented at numerous exhibitions and venues such as Museum of Contemporary Art Vojvodina, Serbia; ThingWorld – Triennal of New Media Art 2014, Beijing, China; Cynetart 2014, Germany; Soft Control: Tomorrow Festival, Serbia; Sonica Festival, Slovenia; Močvara Gallery, Croatia; Kiblix 2014, Slovenia; Kapelica Gallery, Slovenia; Gallery of Contemporary Art Celje, Slovenia; MFRU – Kiblix 2013, Slovenia; Enter : Biopolis, Prague; Device_art 4.013, Prague; Device_art 4.012, Zagreb.
For the work Myconnect Saša Spačal, Mirjan Švagelj and Anil Podgornik received an Honorary Mention at Ars Electronica 2015.
