I work in response to digital culture and the systems that shape identity, desire, and perception. Through screenprinting, I transform digital content—memes, images, videos—into physical form as a counter to the endless flow of media, and as a way to give shape to what we feel. By harvesting and recontextualizing online imagery, I explore how platforms subtly guide what we see, feel, and believe—shaping us in ways that feel both hollow and intimate. This work comes from living inside that tension: reaching for connection and meaning while being quietly steered away from agency and intention.
Cassandra Zampini is a New York–based artist whose work explores how digital systems subtly shape identity, desire, and the self. Her work invites viewers to slow down and reflect on the ways we are being shaped: the drift toward performance, the pressure to optimize our identities, and the sensation of feeling like we're becoming products of our own making. Through screenprinting, image aggregation, and video installation, Zampini slows down and depowers digital media—making visible what we feel but rarely name living in digital culture.
Her work has been exhibited nationally at museums and galleries across the United States, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona; the Arnot Art Museum; the Griffin Museum of Photography; and most recently at the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia. Her work has been featured in The Atlantic, The Art Newspaper, and The Collector Daily, and will appear in the upcoming 20th edition of Friend of the Artist. Her work has also been exhibited since 2020 in the traveling exhibition A Yellow Rose Project, with a book forthcoming in Summer 2025. Her pieces are held in private, public, and corporate collections, including Armoni Investments in Boston and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
She currently works out of her studio in New York City.
