Margarita Osipian is a researcher, curator, and cultural organiser living and working in Amsterdam. Engaging with the intersections and frictions between art, design, technology, and language, she organizes collaborative projects in formal institutions and more precarious and fleeting spaces. Holding an MA in Media Studies from the University of Amsterdam and an MA in English Literature from the University of Toronto, her research has focused on visual culture, technology, and the carceral state. Margarita is part of The Hmm, a platform for internet cultures, a member of the Hackers & Designers collective, on the curatorial team of Sonic Acts, and part of the artistic core of the W139.
