Alina Bardavid (Tucumán, Argentina, 1995) is an audio-visual artist whose practice moves between the porous boundaries of documentary, fiction and experimental video. Working independently since 2014, she has developed a devotion to DIY, low-budget aesthetics, embracing failure, awkwardness, and clumsiness as fertile grounds for creation. Humor and raw intensity coexist in her works, which often inhabit states of instability without seeking resolution. Her work often flirts with contradiction, between excess and simplicity, distortion and clarity, grotesquely and lightheartedly. She understands play and experimentation not only as creative methods but as political gestures.

Since the beginning of her practice she has been actively working in Argentina’s independent music scene and textile-related projects. Over time, she expanded her practice into other forms of the digital: sonic hammers, electronic threads, strange lines of codes, synthographic celluloids and the most beautiful of all, the neon green chroma key. Trying to shape a hands-on, collage process-based methodology where making guides thinking.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Arts and Technologies from the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes and a Technical Degree in Audiovisual Media from the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán. In 2023 she was awarded a DAAD scholarship to pursue the Master of Arts in Digital Media at the Hochschule für Künste Bremen. Her works have been presented in institutions such as the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos, the Humboldt Forum in Berlin with the collective Unión Textiles Semillas. They have also been shown at international festivals including the Athens Digital Arts Festival, AIxDesign in Amsterdam, FIVIA Festival in Marseille, Festival Tormenta in Tucumán, ARTELLIGENT in Brazil, among others.
