Animaspace [space that is alive] [space that has a co-agency]

A transdisciplinary art practice challenging dominant narratives, paradigms, and imaginaries of robotics and AI through mixed media—interactive installations, prototypes, film, and performances—exploring new relationships between machines, environments, and shared agency.

Profile

Animaspace is the artistic practice of Angelina Kozhevnikova [she/her], an Interdisciplinary Artist, Designer, and Researcher.

Through interactive installations, prototypes, film, performances, workshops, and public engagement, she explores the entangled relationships between humans, machines, and environments. Her work challenges dominant technological imaginaries by crafting speculative, open-ended scenarios that rethink autonomy, agency, and control.

Her artworks emerge within dynamic systems, shaped by collaborators, machines, environments, and audiences. Rather than fixed outcomes, they are processes in motion—spaces where agency is negotiated, material intelligence unfolds, and new forms of interaction take shape. Positioned as a guide within these systems, she navigates the tensions between precision and uncertainty, computation and materiality, human and non-human.

Her projects have been exhibited at the Venice Biennale, London Design Biennale, Kaliningrad Regional Museum of History and Art, Semibreve Festival, Oyoun Berlin, V2_Lab for Unstable Media, and Zaha Hadid Gallery. Studio projects have been featured in CNN, Wallpaper, DesignWeek, Chatham House, and CLOT Magazine*.

She is the Winner of the Edigma Semibreve Award (2022) and was nominated for the Lumen Prize Interactive/3D Award (2022). She also received the HVA Research of the Year Prize (2023) and was listed by CNN as the author of one of the boldest design proposals of 2021, alongside Tesla, BMW, and Sony's innovation groups.

 
 

We don’t have a crisis of technology.

We have a "crisis of imagination”.

Throughout the whole history of sci-fi

We always imagined dystopian futures.

So here we are, living in one.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

We can only build what we can imagine

&

We can only move forward when we dream together.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

We need ethical and sustainable futures

that are not dictated by fear or industry myths

but by shared visions of possibility.

 
 

Let’s connect, imagine & activate!
