With the artist figure, her digital twin s.myselle, Stephanie Meisl interprets humans as humanoid intelligences whose data set (information archive) consists of personal experiences and adventures. Her preference for past art movements, artists and thinkers inspires the resulting new works. By looking into the past, she tries to reshape the future and finds herself in a new digital avantgarde. Her youngest art research project is "How Real is the Digital Reality", where she explores the impact of new technology especially in Social Media.
