Profile Picture

Dialekti Valsamou-Stanislawski is a multidisciplinary artist, researcher, and technologist working across sound, video, installation, and digital experimentation. Her practice moves fluidly between narrative and abstraction, exploring how myth, memory, presence, and technology intertwine. Through fragmentation, reuse, hybridization, and re-assembly, she composes environments where the organic and the synthetic, the human and the machinic, resonate and unsettle one another.

With a PhD in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) and a Master’s in Sustainable Innovation by Design (ENSCI–Les Ateliers, Paris), she is currently pursuing an MA in Digital Arts at the Athens School of Fine Arts. This hybrid trajectory—formed through years of AI research, speculative design, and participatory practices—continues to inform her artistic explorations. It allows her to probe questions of machine agency, social imaginaries, and the shifting role of creativity in an age of automation.

Her research draws on mythology, temporality, and cultural narratives, while engaging equally with themes of utility, obsolescence, and repurposing. Alongside these runs an inquiry into the body as a site of re-materialization, fragmentation, and (re)assembly, aligning with broader concerns of hybridization. These threads converge into a practice with an existential dimension, questioning identity, transformation, and the porous boundaries between the living and the artificial.

Methodologically, her work is grounded in collage—sonic, visual, and conceptual—as a means of weaving together the everyday and the speculative, the intimate and the systemic. Archival traces, field recordings, and machine-generated textures meet glitch aesthetics, algorithmic processes, and interactive structures. What emerges are immersive environments where fiction, memory, and computation coexist, producing moments that feel both familiar and uncanny, personal and collective.

Having worked extensively in research, design, and technological innovation, she brings a critical yet hands-on approach to artistic creation, rethinking tools, materials, and systems at the intersection of speculative design, machine-assisted processes, and collective storytelling.

Now based in Athens after fifteen years in Paris, she remains active in both Greek and international creative communities.
