Bio

Erica Scourti was born in Athens, Greece in 1980 and now lives in London. She is currently enrolled on a Research degree (Masters) in Moving Image Art at Central Saint Martin’s College of Art & Design, run in conjunction with LUX. Scourti’s work addresses the mediation of personal and collective experience through language and technology in the net-worked regime of contemporary culture. Using autobiographical source material, as well as found text collected from the internet displaced into social space, her work explores communication, and particularly the mediated intimacy engendered by a digital paradigm.

Woman Nature Alone, 2010

Woman Nature Alone is an online video project and single channel work made during a residency at Connecticut’s I-Park. Using titles taken from stock video sites corresponding to the key words ‘woman’, ‘nature’ and ‘alone’ as the starting point for my daily work, I filmed myself performing each action described in the title. The video and title was then uploaded to YouTube, forming an archive of my experience of the residency and a collection of ‘rushes’ which were used to create the final single channel version.
