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.

The artist participated in the 3rd Mayrit Biennial, Espejito Espejito (Madrid, 2024); 22nd SESC Videobrasil Biennial (São Paulo, 2023); Bangkok Art Biennale 2022 - Virtual Venue (Bangkok, 2022). 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.

Cribb’s  work has been featured in international exhibitions: Playing Entity (Esc Medien Kunst Labor, Graz, Austria, 2024); FROM THE UNDERWATER MOUNTAINS FIRE MAKES ISLANDS (Delfina Foundation, London, 2024);  Memory is anEditing Station - 22nd Biennial Videobrasil (São Paulo, 2023); DOS BRASIS (São Paulo, Brasil); CHAOS:CALM and BETWEEN BAB (Bangkok Art Biennale, 2022); Who Tells a Tale Adds a Tail (Denver Art Museum, 2022); Perfect Body (Esc Medien Kunst Labor, Graz, Austria) ; The Silence of Tired Tongues (Framer Framed, Amsterdam, 2022); Hotel Blue (Vellum LA, Los Angeles, 2022); Oh I Love Brazilian Women (Apexart, New York, 2022); Disembodied Behaviors (Bitforms Gallery, New York , 2020); The Brazil that I Want (Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève, online, 2020);
