Bio
Vitória Cribb (b. 1996) graduated from Superior School of Industrial Design at the State University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Vitória’s practice seeks to investigate contemporary social behavior in the face of the development of new visual information technologies. The artist uses the digital environment as a way to explain her investigations and reflections related to digital presence; surveillance; digital bodies; self expression and psychological damage on the cyberspace crossed by her subconscious. The transposition of her thinking through the immateriality presented in digital are central points in the works developed by the artist in recent years.
As an artist and filmmaker her works have been shown at various international film festivals (including Essence Film Festival, Tricky Woman Tricky Realities, São Paulo 35 Kinoforum, Les Utopiales). In 2025, the artist will particpate with a new comissioned film/installation at Sharjah Biennial 16.

In 2023 Vitória was awarded with a Fellowship Residency Award at the Wexner Center for the Arts and in 2022 awarded the PIPA PRIZE - Brazilian Contemporary Art Prize. The artist's works are part of the permanent collections of Denver Art Museum and Brazilian National Museum of the Republic.
