Špela Petrič, BSc, MA, PhD, is a Slovenian new media artist and former scientific researcher currently based between Ljubljana, SI and Amsterdam, NL. Her practice is a multi-species endeavour, a composite of natural sciences, wet media and performance. She envisions artistic experiments that enact strange relationalities to reveal the ontological and epistemological underpinnings of our technological societies and challenge the scope of the adjacent possible. Much of her recent work has focused on plant life. Her work has been shown at many festivals, exhibitions and educational events (La Fabrique du Vivant at Centre Pompidou (FR), Abandon Normal Devices (UK), Venice Biennial of Architecture (IT), Touch Me Festival (CRO), Ars Electronica (AT), Nam June Pike Museum (KOR), HAIP (SI), DesignSight 21_21 (JP). For her work she also received several awards including the White Aphroid for outstanding artistic achievement (2016), the Bioart and Design Award (2014) and an Award of Distinction at Prix Ars Electronica (2019).
