Digital legends come to life on screens and keyboards, transforming unsettling traditional tales into modern-day web stories. Women as oral storytelling guardians interpret creepypasta as streamers, in dreamlike scenarios created by artificial intelligence.
Mara Oscar Cassiani is a Wi-Fi-based artist working across performance, choreography, and digital media, blending ritual clubbing, online subculture, and avatar imagery. Her exploration builds a contemporary iconography between brutal capitalism and the internet, using live acts and open-source virtual environments.
