Digital Culture & AudioVisual Challenges

Foteini Vergidou is a curator, cultural project manager, and researcher based in Athens, Greece. Her work focuses on digital culture, advanced communication theory, cyberpsychology, and the impact of new technologies on both artistic production and everyday life. She investigates the social, emotional, and political dimensions of digital existence, exploring how intimacy, identity, and embodiment are shaped by technological infrastructures, particularly in relation to algorithmic control, surveillance, online commodification, and gendered power dynamics. Vergidou’s approach bridges artistic experimentation with critical theory, creating reflective frameworks for examining how we inhabit and resist increasingly datafied realities. She holds a BA in Communication and Mass Media from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and an MA in Interactive Media: Critical Theory and Practice from Goldsmiths University in London.
