PHOENIX ATHENS FEATURES ARTIST IN RESIDENCE:
OLGA BAGAEVA

Olga Bagaeva is a multidisciplinary artist and a senior UX designer working in Moscow’s financial sector. Her practice examines customer experience management, the ways in which virtual triggers and hidden persuaders influence human psychology and currencies of perception.
“Important information can be easy to understand, yet alienating. I seek to understand the senses we experience about vital topics and the ways we can abandon the sense of alienation to finance and technology.”
Her interactive piece “Mind in the Mood” invites viewers to witness their very own thoughts (and those of others) through real-time visualisations of brain waves which are varied and controlled by the user's emotions.
