Medina Bazargali is a Kazak transdisciplinary contemporary artist, coder and researcher. Born in 2001 in independent Kazakstan, Bazargali works at the intersection of decolonisation, feminism and political activism, practically experimenting with AR, video, 3D graphics, installation, web development, visual programming, cyber-physical systems, computer vision and neural networks.
In their artistic practice, Bazargali finds themselves in the process of researching ironic and exaggerated political realities where Internet, new algorithmic superstructures and (post)-totalitarian regimes that are swirling in a whirlpool of glocalisation; where Soviet stiffness, digital revolution and the revival of national identity are bundled together like a three-in-one product sold at the supermarket. Through their artworks and research Bazargali wishes to find a sustainable frequency of oscillation between these terminals.
