The general interest of Mónica Rikić’s artistic practice lies in the development of alternative technologies through creative coding and electronics. Her proposals merge technology and philosophy in an artistic manner, creating technological artefacts that are less concerned with functionality and productivity, and more concerned with triggering collective thinking and discussion. Formally, her practice is based in producing handmade electronics objects and robots, which perform different concepts within the scope of her research, presenting themselves as theatrical devices. With these devices, Rikić offers experiences that propose alternative ways of thinking about technologies, robotics and open hardware. Her works illustrate how artistic research is a valid way to not only contribute to, but also critically evaluate the advancement of techno-scientific knowledge, providing new perspectives and generating previously-unknown paths of exploration. All told, Rikić proffers a future where art is necessary to achieve a profound transformation of the technological world we inhabit, as a form of experimental thought between philosophy and engineering.
