​

Letta Shtohryn investigates the intricate relationship between the physical and digital realms, employing extended reality (XR) as her medium. Through a posthumanist perspective, she examines the notion of embodiment, considering the presence of non-human life forms, machines, avatars, aliens, monsters, ghosts, and the intersecting realms, both visible and invisible, that they inhabit.
 

Drawing inspiration from intuitive epistemologies, Letta explores factual and fictional storytelling and its effects in real life by employing speculative investigations, world-building, and visual narratives as her methodologies. Furthermore, Letta's work delves into feminist theory, gender constructs, and gender representations, reflecting her identity as a woman.

Recently, her works have been showcased at Deep Space 8K @ Ars Electronica Center (AT), Ars Electronica Festival 2023 (AT), Goldsmiths College, London (UK), Centre Pompidou (FR), Kunsthalle Exnergasse, Vienna (AT), Spazju Kreattiv (MT), Milan Machinima Festival (IT), Frieze Art Fair (NYC), and The Box at Phillips (NYC).
