Kyriaki Goni is an artist, who for ten years now engages with diverse media to explore the political, affective, and environmental dimensions of big tech. Her focus encompasses extractivism, surveillance, human and non-human relations, as well as alternative networks and infrastructures related to care and community. Employing websites, drawing, videos, sound, and text, Goni's installations construct alternative ecosystems and shared experiences by bridging the local with the planetary and intertwining the fictional with the scientific.
Recent solo exhibitions have been showcased at The Breeder Gallery in Athens, the Blenheim Walk Gallery at Leeds Art University, Drugo More in Rijeka, SixtyEight Art Institute in Copenhagen, KVOST Art Collection Telekom in Berlin, Onassis Cultural Centre in Athens, and Aksioma in Ljubljana.
Goni's work has also been featured in group exhibitions such as "1.5 Degrees" at Kunsthalle Mannheim, the 2nd Warsaw Biennale, the 8th Gherdeina Biennale, Ars Electronica, Modern Love, the 24th Thessaloniki Photobiennale, the 13th Shanghai Biennale, Transmediale2020, the 5th Istanbul Design Biennial, Trondheim International Biennale, and NVG Triennial Melbourne. Her art is included in several collections, including those of Yerassimos Yiannopoulos, Art Telekom, and Polyeco Contemporary Art Initiative.
Goni has received commissions from prestigious organizations such as the Shanghai Biennale, Gherdeina Biennale, Warsaw Biennale, Onassis Foundation, PCAI, Ars Electronica, and Art Collection Deutsche Telekom. Her work has garnered recognition through prizes and fellowships from Allianz Kulturstiftung and Bertelmanns Stiftung, Ars Electronica and Telekom, as well as the Metropolitan Organization of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki, Greece, and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
In addition to her artistic pursuits, Goni frequently lectures, writes, and delivers talks. She holds a BA in Visual Arts and an MA in Digital Arts from the Athens School of Fine Arts. Prior to that, she pursued graduate and postgraduate degrees in Social and Cultural Anthropology in Athens and Leiden, Netherlands.
