"My work is an urgent response to what it feels like to live digitally—the endless bombardment of addictive information and all the ways digital life shapes us. Life is made up of what we pay attention to. By bringing images and memes into silkscreen paintings, I seek to reclaim the depth and mystery of the human experience from the flattening forces of the screen and the systems of power and control behind what we see. By uncovering what subtly guides us—and why—I hope to rediscover connection and meaning, and to mark where digital life ends and real life begins.

BIO

Cassandra Zampini is a New York–based visual artist who transforms found memes and images into silkscreen paintings and aggregate works to examine how visual culture shapes identity, perception, and power. Following in the tradition of artists who have interrogated and recontextualized mass media, she turns her lens toward internet culture, where algorithms, memes, and viral images shape what we see, feel, and believe.

Through screenprinting, image aggregation, and the recontextualization of found digital content, Zampini creates space to examine attention, and where wonder, meaning, and human experience can resurface beyond the screen.

Her work has been exhibited nationally at institutions 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 the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia. Her work has been featured in The Atlantic, The Art Newspaper, and The Collector Daily, and 20th edition of Friend of the Artist. Her work is part of the current traveling exhibition A Yellow Rose Project. Her pieces are held in private, public, and corporate permanent collections, including Armoni Investments in Boston and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
