Nadine Cocina
Nadine Cocina(*1994) is an interaction designer and artist from Zurich with a bachelor's and master's degree at the Zurich University of the Arts. She uses technology not only as a medium for her practical work, but also as a conceptual framework for a critical engagement. In her works, she likes to draw attention to small everyday phenomena that arise from the ever-increasing use and immersion with digital media and technological devices and systems. In doing so, she focuses on the effects they have on the individual relationship to them and translates them into aesthetic experiences.
