Bio & info
Ciao, I'm Sara Levarato a communication designer and visual artist from Italy (1996) currently based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. My works are often visually constructed and influenced by 3D CGI and motion graphics. I develop visual narratives relying on a research-based and critical design approach, blending it with a more intuitive and experimental application of digital techniques.
Thematically, my personal projects revolve around the internalization of technological processes within the late capitalist landscape. I focus on how individuals are subjected to interpretation, labeling, and representation through processes such as datafication and optimization.
I am open to collaborations (:
