Katarina Popovic- ketworks is a storyteller and media artist.
ketworks explores how art and technology can help reintegrate media-owerhelmed humans with their imminent nature. Her work examines the human-to-human interface in the present moment of history, revealing the deep, often invisible threads that connect us now and have connected us in the past.
Through interactive installations, she gives voice and sound to silent witnesses—elements and objects brought to life and sometimes altered through electronics and software. Her practice invites audiences to experience natural and cultural histories, not merely observe or read about them.
Her artworks engage with questions of “nature” of evil, doing harm, being careless, causing pain, avoiding emotions, revoking memories, suffering, and learning forgiveness—probing how our shared response-ability (the ability to respond and be accountable) might awaken us from the illusions of invincibility in the Anthropocene.
ketworks holds an MA in Computational Art from Goldsmiths, University of London. Since 2010, her works have been exhibited in the UK, Slovenia, Turkey, and Serbia. She is a member of the Nature & Art collective.
In 2023, she founded tinkpunk.com, an educational platform and a community for creative electronics.
ketworks was born in Serbia, is currently based in Belgrade, and is interested in an immersive approach to exhibition practice (living, interactive history in museums and other places of memory). She is a collaborator with UNICEF and UN Women and a TEDx speaker.
