Cris Anutoiu (they/them) is a transdiciplinary artist, currently
based in Vienna (AT).
Their practice explores how technology reshapes embodiment and perception, expanding into questions of queer transhuman worldbuilding and the ways digital tools sensitize our understanding of environments and identities.
Drawing from science fiction, fantasy, and posthuman theory, their work reflects the fragmented, multilayered nature of constructed worlds, often infused with a subtle magical realism. Across this process, tangible and intangible constructs emerge, embodying the fluid interplay between physical and virtual realms — a chimera of both.
Their work has been exhibited nationally at Belvedere21, CIVA and Leopold, as well as internationally in Los Angeles, Tunis, Norway, Italy and Germany.
In addition to studying Transmedia Art at the University of Applied Arts under Jakob Lena Knebl, Cristian is a founding member of the artist collective room69, which mediates contemporary intermedia formats through progressive exhibition formats.
