Cassandra Zampini is a New York based new media artist who transforms Internet content into print and video artworks to examine the role of media in shaping our understanding of the world and our place within it. Zampini creates Internet-mined artworks by harvesting vast amounts of existing digital media, and then recontextualizes and depowers the content into physical space. She introduces an unfamiliar lens to that which is familiar, personal and influential exploring the impact of advertising, self-promotion, and manipulation in shaping our modern society. Experiencing the impact of media in her own life and personal relationships, she aims to challenge the viewer’s perception of autonomy and control, while proposing an antidote through awareness and introspection.
Cassandra Zampini has been featured in exhibitions across the country, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The Center for Creative Photography, at the University of Arizona; The Arnot Art Museum in Elmira, NY, the Griffin Museum of Photography, and is an invitee for the current traveling show, A Yellow Rose Project. Zampini’s work has been featured in publications such as The Atlantic, The Art Newspaper, and The Collector Daily. In addition, her artwork is collected by private, public, and corporate collections including the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and Armoni Investments in Boston and she is currently an artist fellow at the New York National Arts Club.
