Biography

Portrait — Natalia Rodkina

I'm Natalia Rodkina (b. 1982, USSR) — software engineer, media artist, curator; member of the Association of Mediterranean Artists (AMA Cyprus).

I earned an engineering degree from Moscow Power Engineering Institute (MPEI). I live in Limassol, Cyprus, where I co-own an IT company focused on low-level video processing; in parallel I run ARTVISIONLAB — a studio exploring generative art, AI, robotic art, digital video, and AR.

My practice moves between code and space: building responsive light systems, staging site-specific installations, and shaping curatorial frameworks where technology behaves like a living medium.

Artist Statement

My practice investigates time and memory through responsive light, kinetics, and spatial dramaturgy. Working at the intersection of engineering and art, I build systems with microcontrollers, sensors, and projection to compose environments that register presence—pulsing, dimming, unfolding—like living structures.

I examine how technical innovation mediates perception and intimacy, moving beyond screen‑based visuals into site‑specific, three‑dimensional installations. I'm less concerned with events than with their residue: the marks, rhythms, and architectures memory leaves behind.

As a curator and organizer, I develop exhibition narratives and technical infrastructures that allow artworks to act in time, not just occupy space. Through projects such as CHRONOTEXTURE, I treat technology as an emotional medium—an instrument that reveals the texture of the present by making traces visible.
