Carmin Karasic uses computer based and emerging technologies in her art to increase social awareness through art activism. She believes it is a cyberartist's responsibility to provoke reevaluation of our existing systems through technology. Because future communication technology will enable total wireless connectivity, she is specifically interested in the interaction with pervasive computing.
Her art investigates alternative views, new connections and interaction between edges. Her artworks consciously examine the hyper-real, because presentation has become more important than personal opinion, observation, or even reality itself. Human beings are inspired by the factors that drive their decisions and the impact of their individual actions in the world, just as the flap of the butterfly's wing impacts wind currents. The digital mirror in this project creates a space for self-reflection and reevaluation.
.
Ultimately, her ambition is to contribute to the positive social engagement of new technologies through art. Synergy between artists, scientists, and engineers can lead to new cultural insights and potential innovation, rather than reinforce old assumptions. She wants her work to contribute to invention and digital enhancements.
