Elki is a visual artist, researcher, writer and photo-editor. She is captivated by the accumulation, circulation and consumption of images in the digital age. In her practice she works with found images and uses them as a medium through which she researches topics like the philosophy of photograhy, image culture, image phenomena and technology. Examples of work are image assemblages, video renderings, techno fiction stories and zines. She is also the co-initiator of the Input Party, a project on the personal image collections of artists and is co-creator of the zine series SAD MEN. Next to this she also gives workshops, lectures and works as a photo-editor for De Volkskrant.
Algorithmic Cultures – Every day, we consume hundreds of images. We use them, ignore them, absorb, object and devour them. They are the digital material that shapes our online worlds, seducing us into the pull of our devices.
