Alexia Achilleos
Research Assistant
Alexia Achilleos is a Finnish-Cypriot artist based in Cyprus, with a background in fine art, archaeology and cultural studies. Her interests include cultural, political and social issues that impact narrative, springing from the geopolitical power games that affect the Eastern Mediterranean region. Her investigations into the domain of data and artificial intelligence processes have allowed her to examine these topics from a new perspective, providing an opportunity for artistic research examining biases in dominant narratives, but also within technology itself.
