Artwork Description

The Oracles, 2025

48.0 x 43.0 cm

Colour pencil and watercolour on carbon paper, wooden box In The Oracles (2025, Technofetishism: Whip it into Shape, MOMUS, Thessaloniki), screenshots of the most popular Google and ChatGPT questions are painted with coloured pencils and watercolours on graph and carbon paper, framed inside boxes like valuable objects. Many concern women’s lives as mothers, partners, and professionals - questions of adequacy, beauty, and fulfilment shaped by algorithmic answers. These works expose how digital authority positions itself as an everyday oracle, producing trust while unsettling identity. Technology becomes a contemporary fetish, embedding itself into intimate aspects of female existence, where guidance and judgment are literally absorbed by paper’s fibers.
