Stojanov is a media artist whose work investigates how emerging communication technologies structure identity, embodiment, and visibility within networked culture. Her practice engages feminist and critical media methodologies to examine how digital infrastructures like interfaces, algorithms, and social media systems, shape the ways individuals construct and perform identity. Her work has been exhibited internationally at venues and festivals including ISEA (International Symposium on Electronic Arts), The Hammer Museum Los Angeles, Ars Electronica, and the Fubar Glitch Art Festival in Zagreb, and has been presented through programs associated with Rhizome at the New Museum. In 2024, she exhibited a collection of work in her first solo show at the Reese Bullen Gallery with her artistic collaborator Linh Dao. Her projects and collaborations have received national media coverage through outlets including the Associated Press, ArtSpiel, and NBC. She is Associate Professor of Digital Media at Monmouth University. M.F.A.

The exhibition emerges as a response to an elusive sense of belonging in America as others or foreigners. Their works explore the ongoing tension and fluidity within both personal and societal concepts of identity. They share their experience of femme and otherwise marked bodies as they adjust to the process of assimilation and the erosion of their languages, history, and cultures. The artists use technologies, in conjunction with expressive typography, to interrogate marginalized realities, including augmented reality, virtual reality, projections, performance, and interactive experiences. Dao and Stojanov also held a five-day engagement with the Art + Film Department at the Humboldt campus, which included workshops for students as well as a public artist talk in the Reese Bullen Gallery during the opening reception. <img width="8256" height="5504" width_o="8256" height_o="5504" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/436642a59d2511532829ec9f170f32b6187696a2f97c3b2db256468f21613eb8/artf110724_00187.jpg" data-mid="246112566" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/436642a59d2511532829ec9f170f32b6187696a2f97c3b2db256468f21613eb8/artf110724_00187.jpg" /> <img width="8256" height="5504" width_o="8256" height_o="5504" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/81b57004d623d7c6d30d0f4563c52eb53c4120562b66795ec98bd37b9b788d50/artf110724_00020.jpg" data-mid="246112554" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/81b57004d623d7c6d30d0f4563c52eb53c4120562b66795ec98bd37b9b788d50/artf110724_00020.jpg" /> <img width="5184" height="3888" width_o="5184" height_o="3888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d3f3d6d9af065a1214383d178d8866dbdf07194f6fe1c0a3943371eee34acc43/P1010596.jpg" data-mid="246112571" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d3f3d6d9af065a1214383d178d8866dbdf07194f6fe1c0a3943371eee34acc43/P1010596.jpg" /> <img width="8256" height="5504" width_o="8256" height_o="5504" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e522c0ab54f653be1ea7af839b97f1d09dae73598a8b5122baead16fb3c044f5/artf110724_00171.jpg" data-mid="246112564" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e522c0ab54f653be1ea7af839b97f1d09dae73598a8b5122baead16fb3c044f5/artf110724_00171.jpg" /> <img width="8256" height="5504" width_o="8256" height_o="5504" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ca98bee11ca1b00b5170190403eea8211e9d8f3177d01212aab96bed5c0d692d/artf110724_00223.jpg" data-mid="246112568" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ca98bee11ca1b00b5170190403eea8211e9d8f3177d01212aab96bed5c0d692d/artf110724_00223.jpg" /> <img width="8256" height="5504" width_o="8256" height_o="5504" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/346a3f0b49a29da0f8048601100c4b9d528e152acb5f9946bf53eea37ba98739/artf110724_00125.jpg" data-mid="246112560" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/346a3f0b49a29da0f8048601100c4b9d528e152acb5f9946bf53eea37ba98739/artf110724_00125.jpg" /> <img width="3888" height="5184" width_o="3888" height_o="5184" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/383bbc6808685102d71177a3c30c67d4e2775958bc932a59d09bfe7637bb0517/P1010580.jpg" data-mid="246112572" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/383bbc6808685102d71177a3c30c67d4e2775958bc932a59d09bfe7637bb0517/P1010580.jpg" /> <img width="2047" height="2048" width_o="2047" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/24deed3d66b9c06e692dcf826f6785cb00f6906d480a95f7c34b5eeeec85d39a/469341732_10228195963386664_919792724669914554_n-1.jpg" data-mid="246112569" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/24deed3d66b9c06e692dcf826f6785cb00f6906d480a95f7c34b5eeeec85d39a/469341732_10228195963386664_919792724669914554_n-1.jpg" /> <img width="7892" height="5261" width_o="7892" height_o="5261" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a5a4e3c213756fd87950402fbbf276452156a11aa64062465b425ebded6e1bd8/artf110724_00204.jpg" data-mid="246112567" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a5a4e3c213756fd87950402fbbf276452156a11aa64062465b425ebded6e1bd8/artf110724_00204.jpg" /> https://amandastojanov.com/T Fri, 10 Nov 2023 01:44:22 +0000 amandastojanov https://amandastojanov.com/T <img width="2448" height="1008" width_o="2448" height_o="1008" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/952f70bc1fe7061a1f9c5d40433259f7730b106ae2b6ea308d4a13a48a21bc81/Transitional_Threads_1_LA-72.jpg" data-mid="222445265" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/952f70bc1fe7061a1f9c5d40433259f7730b106ae2b6ea308d4a13a48a21bc81/Transitional_Threads_1_LA-72.jpg" /><img width="2448" height="1008" width_o="2448" height_o="1008" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d3a0592592ce4a99199f115ca20a4112324ace3fe5d9bc3617ac44e4ec025de9/Transitional_Threads_2_LA-72.jpg" data-mid="222445266" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d3a0592592ce4a99199f115ca20a4112324ace3fe5d9bc3617ac44e4ec025de9/Transitional_Threads_2_LA-72.jpg" /> Transitional Threads, 2024 Interactive virtual reality (VR) experience Co-creators: Linh Dao &amp; Amanda Stojanov Dao Thuy Linh (daotlinh.com) Sound Designer: Kacie Horowitz Transitional Threads is a virtual reality (VR) experience where viewers interact with words and an environment. The artists extracted the words from the text they wrote about their feelings and experiences leaving their home country and coming to live in the U.S. The viewers move throughout the environment while the written narrative and soundscape transform. The viewers can create new meaning by manipulating the words through movement, decay, and disruption. The movement of the words and the user symbolizes the transitional space between leaving and arriving, like a limbo lasting any duration. https://amandastojanov.com/0A Fri, 19 May 2023 15:57:48 +0000 amandastojanov https://amandastojanov.com/0A <img width="3265" height="2325" width_o="3265" height_o="2325" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cd269c1aec232eb930fd84a3f47b58a7c413eb5016bfea16d7ecabea512b0365/P1010156-59.jpg" data-mid="179299060" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cd269c1aec232eb930fd84a3f47b58a7c413eb5016bfea16d7ecabea512b0365/P1010156-59.jpg" /> <img width="5184" height="3888" width_o="5184" height_o="3888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/09b32488b09527c2d2193a4c7ba8f5f73d2b33f1cbb01b0d49a0f7d29a6d6d92/P1010104-7.jpg" data-mid="179298603" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/09b32488b09527c2d2193a4c7ba8f5f73d2b33f1cbb01b0d49a0f7d29a6d6d92/P1010104-7.jpg" /> <img width="2991" height="2232" width_o="2991" height_o="2232" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dc113196f19ba0a1a5f098bf7741f927f4777ce1f281f515dc33be7dc9ddb7a6/P1010189-92.jpg" data-mid="179298609" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dc113196f19ba0a1a5f098bf7741f927f4777ce1f281f515dc33be7dc9ddb7a6/P1010189-92.jpg" /> <img width="5184" height="3888" width_o="5184" height_o="3888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8c90580577e2f1f8ddb7d7ff80cc84f2426704fda5e04e6e9f7aff962ac2608/P1010123-26.jpg" data-mid="179298605" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e8c90580577e2f1f8ddb7d7ff80cc84f2426704fda5e04e6e9f7aff962ac2608/P1010123-26.jpg" /> <img width="5184" height="3888" width_o="5184" height_o="3888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2b2904c970aa8b4356da9292ec0ae118534175a96290b6380b39d3ddeec88c04/P1010165-68.jpg" data-mid="179298607" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2b2904c970aa8b4356da9292ec0ae118534175a96290b6380b39d3ddeec88c04/P1010165-68.jpg" /> <img width="5184" height="3888" width_o="5184" height_o="3888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ca585c0ffd7fdc8cb96cc340e35914a1506e15d035a27b650a0ca11bcb5120d5/P1010196-99.jpg" data-mid="179298610" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ca585c0ffd7fdc8cb96cc340e35914a1506e15d035a27b650a0ca11bcb5120d5/P1010196-99.jpg" /> <img width="5184" height="3888" width_o="5184" height_o="3888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/12410a7364d98b002d2cffefc3b93c3779868daffe2bf57071965bf744a79b3a/P1010151-54.jpg" data-mid="179298606" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/12410a7364d98b002d2cffefc3b93c3779868daffe2bf57071965bf744a79b3a/P1010151-54.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="1800" width_o="2880" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1e9d5f971f0392ecfecc6df3e73087f056aa839e8b41be73fb2d5f2ee4a0c9e9/Screen-Shot-2023-03-11-at-8.57.18-PM.png" data-mid="179297475" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1e9d5f971f0392ecfecc6df3e73087f056aa839e8b41be73fb2d5f2ee4a0c9e9/Screen-Shot-2023-03-11-at-8.57.18-PM.png" /> <img width="2880" height="1800" width_o="2880" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6631cc462f261f250b3ce294a769e6e1d17b8780ba8e4e54a545f5fdc8a83d83/Screen-Shot-2023-03-11-at-8.57.06-PM.png" data-mid="179297472" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6631cc462f261f250b3ce294a769e6e1d17b8780ba8e4e54a545f5fdc8a83d83/Screen-Shot-2023-03-11-at-8.57.06-PM.png" /> All installation artworks shown in the images are by Suzan Globus EcoFemAR 2023 interactive augmented reality (AR) experience EcofemAR is an immersive augmented reality artwork that fuses natural and synthetic elements. The organic movements and cycling of objects and words beckon viewers to enter the peice and evoke memories of their past interactions with nature. The piece engages the viewer physicallt with the artwork using scale. The artwork emphasizes the importance of the environment and the parallel between caring for nature and caring for human beings. This is an ongoing project that I continue to develop, adding questions and scanned natural objects into the AR environment. EcoFemAR was exhibited at ChaShaMa Matawan gallery during the duration of Now You Don’t, an installation by Suzan Globus featuring an augmented reality artwork by Amanda Stojanov.

I’m sick of it. I’m sick of it. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick.

Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. I’m sick!” (Beauvoir,1969, p. 98) “… You’re taking your revenge you’re torturing me because I haven’t drooled in admiration before you” (Beauvoir, 1969, p.120) [Breathe and close my eyes switch voices] I’m sick of always worrying about what everyone else needs. I’m sick of not saying no. I’m sick at cowering at myself. Full of shame and fear. I’m sick of being afraid to be wrong. I want to be wrong! [Breathe and close my eyes switch voices] “No compromise no act: that proper little [womxn] was me all right. I’m clean, I’m [queer] I don’t join in any act: that makes them mad - they hate being seen through they want you to believe the stuff they hand out or at least to pretend to” (Beauvoir,1969, p.92) “My serious thoughtful voice makes me feel sick: what I should really like to do is scream” (Beauvoir,1969, p.95) [Breathe and close my eyes switch voices] I can’t remember the last time I screamed with rage. I think that would feel good. Hmmm. [Breathe and close my eyes switch voices] “I reason I explain I prove: patiently step by step I force them to the truth I think they’re following me and then I ask “What have I just said?” They don’t know the stuff themselves with mental earplugs and if a remark happens to get through their answer is just so much [crap]” (Beauvoir, 1969, p.102) [Breathe and close my eyes switch voices] AHHHHHHHHHHHHH [Breathe and close my eyes switch voices] &nbsp; “I didn’t let it worry me all that much I knew all I had to do was wait and one day [they] would understand and [they] would say I was the one who was in the right and not them and cram it down their throats” (Beauvoir, 1969, p.96) [Breathe and close my eyes switch voices] I’m exhausted, burnt out, my hormones are all fucked up, I don’t even want to look at anyone. I’m sick of it. [Breathe and close my eyes switch voices] “They don’t like being seen through: as for me I’m [queer] I don’t join their act I tear masks off. They don’t forgive me for that” (Beauvoir, 1969, p. 99) “When I think back over it, it seems to me that if anyone had loved me properly I should have been affection itself” (Beauvoir, 1969, p.111) [Breathe and close my eyes switch voices] The burning shameful truth is I left myself neglected. A total abandonment. Each time I said yes but meant no. Each time I moved, loved, did in the image of someone else. When I bent, and curled, and cowered so they could stand tall. Each time I desperately wanted to be liked and acted in the way I believed they wanted me to, objectifying myself out of being. Ouch. [Breathe and close my eyes switch voices] “[Shitheads]! You nearly got me down but you didn’t quite succeed. I’m not your scapegoat: your remorse—I’ve thrown it off. I’ve told you what I think of you - each one has had [their] dose and I’m not afraid of your hatred I walk clean through it. [Shitheads]!” (De Beauvoir, 1969, p.116) “They are killing me the [shitheads]... I must win. I must I must I must I must I must” (Beauvoir, 1969, p.111) [Breathe] &nbsp; “I used to like the moon it was like me; and they’ve mucked it up like they muck everything up …” (Beauvoir, 1969, p.91) [Breathe and close my eyes switch voices] But I’m not like the moon. Or I am, or, well, I’m like… uh I’m so tired of explaining myself. I’m too expansive for you anyway. I am and will be whatever whenever I want. I can feel rage and delight both at the same time… if I want. [Breathe and close my eyes switch voices] “I don’t intend to oblige them, thank you very much indeed. I want to live I want to come to life again” (Beauvoir,1969, p.101) [Breathe and close my eyes switch voices] Why don’t you tell me who you are? What you want? What makes you, sick? And if you want anything else from me, it’s going to be a no, sickos. &nbsp; [End] Breathing, 4 breaths. Beauvoir, Simone de. (1969). The Woman Destroyed. Collins Publisher. Febos, Melissa. (2021).

Unbounded Unleashed Unforgiving attempts to understand and reclaim cyberfeminism nearly 30 years after the vns Matrix Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st Century first oozed into our collective consciousness. Instead of focusing on cyberfeminism from a historical perspective, this international group exhibition explores the multiple ways artists and scholars are actively engaging in contemporary methods of cyberfeminism as practice today through new digital tools - like web VR, 3D objects, avatars, social media performativity, manifestos, and worldbuilding.

The log cabin block starts with one square in the middle then rectangle strips are added around the square. I used an imrpov techinque of ripping fabric into different sizes creating an organic shape when the blocks are stitched together. This project started by looking into pictures of fabrics that my ancesters either owned or created. This design came from a blanket that is a staple in my grandmother’s home in Betina, Croatia. My intention when starting this residency was to begin a process of creating handmade fabrics and re imaginig them with digital technologies. In these efforts I hope to discover something about how we perceive online objects and if they feel tactile to us and how. My work has often looked at cyberfeminism and the “historically constituted body”. With this work I want to begin exploring that with fabrics in AFK and virtual spaces. Subjects I will explore through this body of work are Immersive, enveloping, comes together and moves apart, history, archiving, preserving traditions, feelings and place/a sense of home and belonging.

The original animation is built entirely with code and sound. The code analyzes the frequency of the sound and then using that data, determines the intensity and colors of the graphics. Through a sequence of high winds, wave intensity, transformer explosions, and heavy rain, the animation aims to capture the essence of the storm. Superstorm Sandy affected a vast area of the U.S and Carribean, the impact of which is still being felt today. As recovery progresses, and we share our stories, the tale becomes a network of voices. The sounds and images found in Hurricane, draws inspiration from an evolving web of imaginary lines—completing the connection between the individual and the collective.This animation was made using the p5.js library.
