Since 2016, Dasha has been creating projects that question our relationship with digital tools.
In 2016, she created a video called Are you watching? - a collage of public surveillance camera footage that questions their placement, access and purpose. In 2017 she produced several projects in collaboration with artist Amanda Lewis that speak to labor in the digital age and the normalization of surveillance devices. In 2017 she founded the Center for Technological Pain, a center that offers DIY solutions to health problems caused by digital technologies, for which she received an honorary mention at Ars Electronica. Since then, she has been working on various projects on the themes of digital life after death, modern relationships, quantification of health and the materiality of information.
Ilina's work has been exhibited in institutions such as Centre Pompidou (FR), MU Artspace (NL), Gaîté Lyrique (FR), NeMe (CY), as well as at various conferences, workshops and performances held internationally. She is also the co-director of NØ SCHOOL, an international summer school in Nevers, France, which brings together students, artists, designers, makers, hackers, activists and educators who wish to deepen their skills and engage in critical research on the social and environmental impact of information and communication technologies.
