The Archive of Digital Art (ADA) features
DIANA DOMINGUES
The ritualized body between “trance and algorithm”





She has an immense and multifaceted body of work, revealing an enormous talent opening to multiple dimensions. (…) And in my opinion, the contents in Diana’s artworks suggest an absolute innovation, when she started facing the international digital art. She starts from Brazilian history and the traditions of Latin America. To sum up, if I had to characterize in some way the enormous body of work, I would say that it is a way to translate a radical mongrel syncretism. - Àngel Kalenberg


In our new ADA artist feature, we dedicate a retrospective to Brazilian artist Diana Domingues and her work from the early 1980s until today. Diana Domingues, describing herself as an artist-engineer, has been playing an influential role in shaping the interactive and digital art field in South America, particularly in Brazil. Her work juxtaposes Brazilian and Latin American cultural heritage with modern technologies and discusses the tangible and intangible culture by weaving analogies to shamanic figures, trance, embodiments, actions in invisible worlds and magic. In this context she manifested the “digital ritual” as unique experiential and expanding dimension of the biological body in the “infraworlds of digital data” by creating intense, immersive environments using the internet, mobile interfaces, video projections, sensors, mixed/-reality media and caves.

ADA RELAUNCH COMING SOON!
JOIN THE ADA ONLINE COMMUNITY!

The Archive of Digial Art (founded by Univ.-Prof. Dr. habil. Dr. h.c. Oliver Grau, MAE in 1999) offers a platform to collaboratively document the ever-changing world of Digital Art and its related disciplines at the intersection of art, science and technology.

Together with University of Arts Linz and University of Applied Arts Vienna, our research team at the Center for Image Science (Department for Arts and Cultural Studies), University for Continuing Education Krems, is currently developing the Archive of Digital Art (ADA, digitalartarchive.at) into a comprehensive research and teaching infrastructure, a reliable information resource and networking platform for all interested domains and institutions in the digital arts field. 

The ADA relaunch, which is planned in October 2023, expands its features and provides artists, scholars, researchers, curators and institutions with a comprehensive environment for art-based research, analysis, networking, exploration and inspiration. Among others, innovative data visualizations, search and analytical tools have been developed.
