Bio:
Anita Muscaria is a multi-disciplined artista from Bogota, Colombia. An industrial designer with emphasis in industrial processes and how they affect the development of minor indigenous communities. As public exhibitions I took part in the St Kilda Photo prize , Stuck On St Kilda, displaying works in Lentil as Anything and Live Interactive sets as a VJ at Melbourne´s Horse Bazaar. Took part in uTobia festival in Bogota, Colombia and also contributed with some local artists to developing 3D short films. As a performing visual artist I am able to manipulate images and themes relevant to my practice in a live context. In this way the viewer is invited to live a virtual hallucination echoing the real visions without the ingestión of entheogenics.
