Kiva Sakona is a Basque visual artist and researcher based in Amsterdam. Her multidisciplinary practice involves writing, video, and installation work. She investigates how the aesthetic experiences of everyday life are intertwined with the ways advanced capitalism captures libidinal energy. She is particularly interested in the visual and temporal conditions of the multimedia environments we inhabit and how these are closely tied not only to the spirit of productivity of our time, but also to our capacity for attention, sensibility and imagination. Through narratives and experiential explorations of space and time, she delves into how our psychological and affective behaviors are entangled with our audiovisual surroundings. While holding space for humour, she often speculates on the possibility of disengaging from the present-day attention economy. Currently, she is exploring specific practices of audiovisual production and consumption that are intricately woven into the most intimate spheres of people’s lives.
