Ana Todosijevic
Biography
Ana Todosijević is an architect, transdisciplinary artist and practice-based researcher exploring the intersections of technology, living systems, and the environment. Currently pursuing a master's in New Media at Aalto University, her work investigates complex relationships between organisms and their surroundings through interactive installations, environmental art, and data-driven storytelling. Using a transdisciplinary approach, she speculates on new ways of reimagining our relationship with the natural world. Ana is a cofounder of the Bio2Arh collective, where she contributes to projects that explore ecological thinking at the intersection of art and science.

In my artistic research, I explore new ways of engaging with more-than-human realities by challenging conventional human-centered perceptions of the natural environment. I investigate complex processes, relationships, and interconnections that are unavailable to our immediate experience, aiming to make them tangible and relatable. Distant Kin reflects these ideas through a dynamic interaction between human visitors and Spirulina cyanobacteria. The installation employs Spirulina as both a medium and a site of observation, integrating biological and digital systems to create a multisensory experience. Subtle fluctuations in oxygen levels—caused by the audience’s presence—are translated into sensory outputs, making invisible processes perceptible. The project explores more-than-human entanglements through sensory experiences that reveal the material and biological processes of interspecies exchange. By challenging humancentered interaction and communication, it investigates how artistic practice can foster embodied, participatory encounters with nonhuman entities.
