GAZELL.iO is thrilled to present a new collection Imaginary Blues by October 2024 artist-in-residence Liliana Farber, expanding on her recent acquisition at the Victoria & Albert Museum London. This project reimagines the sea monsters from Medieval and Renaissance maps, including A whale mistaken for an island (2024) from the Coloured map of Iceland by Gerard Mercator (1633), transforming them into intricate data collages that utilise Google Earth's ocean textures. The series explores strategies used by colonial and technological empires to represent the unknown.
About Liliana Farber

Liliana Farber is a Uruguayan-born, New York-based, visual artist. Through research-based processes and using digital strategies, Farber creates still and moving images, installations, and web-based works. These investigate notions of land imaginaries, unmappable spaces, utopias, and techno-colonialism. She uses timestamps, geolocation points, satellite imagery, antique maps, and literature as raw materials for minimal pieces that reflect on the human experience of living within global scale infrastructures and colossal amounts of data.

Farber’s work has been exhibited at The Victoria and Albert Museum, London; The National Museum of Contemporary Art, Lisbon; The Center for Books Art, New York; Ars Electronica Festival, Linz; Arebyte Gallery, London; Panke Gallery, Berlin; Chile’s National Museum of Fine Arts, Santiago; Uruguay’s National Museum of Visual Arts, Montevideo; and WRO Media Art Biennale, Wrocland, among others venues.

Farber is a recipient of the Lumen Prize for Art and Technology, UK. She has been an artist-in-residence at Wassaic Projects, NY, Nars Foundation, NYC, Arebyte Gallery, London (online), and Off Site Projects, London (online). Her work is part of the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and numerous private collections around the world. She has been featured in On Curating, Switzerland; and MIT’s Leonardo Journal, USA. Farber received her MFA from Parsons School of Design, New York, and her BA from ORT University, Uruguay.
