SILVIA GATTI
BIO
Silvia Gatti (b. 1983, Alessandria, Italy) is an Amsterdam-based multimedia artist working across video and sound installation, sculpture, poetry, programming, and works on paper. Her conceptually experimental and poetic practice explores the intersections of language, embodiment, memory, nature, and technology, with a particular focus on the shifting boundaries between human and machine perception, and between physical and digital realities. Originally trained in architecture, Gatti graduated with a Master’s degree from the University of Genoa in 2008 and later graduated cum laude from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2021. She was a resident at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam from 2023 to 2025.
Gatti creates immersive, sensory environments in which generative systems, sculptural elements, soundscapes, fragmented narratives, and performative poetry converge. Her work explores embodiment, fragmentation, and the instability of language, questioning how memory and identity are reshaped through technological systems and machines. Her installations become speculative ecosystems of resilience transformation, and human-nonhuman agency, developing speculative landscapes where physical and digital forms of life, memory, and intelligence intersect.
She has exhibited in the Netherlands and internationally (Italy). Recent presentations include the group exhibition At the End(s) of the World at Garage Rotterdam (November 2026), There are always more things going on than you thought: acquisitions at DNB 2025, Preludio at the International Film Festival Rotterdam as part of Art Directions (2026), Chiaro di Luna at Art Rotterdam Projections (2026) and Emerging Exits at the Diogene Bunker in Arnhem (2025), as well as her second solo exhibition, Briefly Humans, at Andriesse Eyck Galerie(2025).
