Pauline Batista (b.1988 Rio de Janeiro, BR) is a multimedia artist based in London. Her practice questions the impulse to render information and bodies transparent in the quest for ’the quantified self’. The artist creates her own networks that the viewers are invited to decode, through installations encompassing elements of photography, sculpture and sound frequencies.
She graduated from USC with a degree in International Relations in 2010 and completed her MFA at Goldsmith University in London in 2017. Among recent solo and group shows, she exhibited at: Tropigalpão (Rio de Janeiro, BR) Artissima (Turin, IT), Museo Civico G. Fattori (Livorno, IT), GALLLERIAPIÙ (Bologna, IT), Houston Center for Photography (Houston, USA), ATP Gallery (London, UK), Koppel Project (London, UK), CADAF Digital Art Fair (New York, USA) and ARCO E-XHIBITIONS.
Awards include the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) Grant to go to New York for Residency Unlimited and Arts Council England Developing Your Creative Practice Grant which has allowed for expanding her practice in new directions and mediums in 2021. In 2020 the artist was shortlisted for both DUCATO and COMBAT Prizes in Italy.
Her work has been featured in La Stampa, PHROOM Magazine, ATP Diary, AQNB, Creative Crypto, Elephant Magazine, Exibart, Juliet Magazine, Map Magazine, Open Space Contemporary, Resonance Extra Radio, Sci-Art Magazine, Into the Void and Segnoline.
