In a rudimentary attempt to raise mythical awareness and get emotional proximity to this unexplored “virtual space of spectrality” (Derrida), I started surfing on the Balkan legendary waves, leaving behind me a panegyrikon trail of playful doodles.

Bio PolyXene Kasda
PolyXene Kasda is homo sentient of Greek origin, grown in the drifting fields of cosmopolitan Alexandria-Lost (Egypt). Trained in fine arts at the Soeur Hermann Besancon workshop in Alexandria, Egypt, she received her academic education in Physics-Chemistry in Cairo and Psychology-Sociology in Athens. Her project Myth/Network 1990-2017 is a psi-glued proposal for the fluid self-immersive aesthetics of transience, expressed as an ideography of the WWW before its spreading (ΕΜΣΤ, archive code 1595, 91), rhizomatic structures (Cultural Contribution Award University of Lucian Blaga, Sibiu 07), multi-sensorial hybrid mappings, topos-engendering RL Boardgames, linguistic/numerical structures (Honorary Medal EETE 09), innovative material PXK (Golden Medal OFA Beijing 08, Best Artwork Award PrimoPianoGallery Lecce 17), inter-space imagery and horticultural -metaphor- generated SAGA projects (Life Achievement Award Visionary Art, Lecce, Italy 17). She lives in Athens, she works everywhere.

In her long artistic and writing career she has been haunted by Something Essential Missing (Kasda, SEM 90), the transcendence (Xene) / immanence (Poly) interface, liminality, spectrality, myth, the intangible and perception in art, consistently occupied with the improvisation of new materials (PXK ) and metissian processes of space generation, experimenting with forms of Agro-Social Action Generative Art  (Kasda, Uranias Gardens 09-17)  and visionary pragmatism (Visionary Art  Life Achievement Award 17). She is an international multi-awarded artist. Her latest artwork was Twixt Cup and Lip, Surfing on the WB legendary spaces, a 200X1000 cm painting+digital print installation for the Biennale of the West Balkans 2018 Greece.Her book “The Conscious Eye: Art-Perception-Informatics” (1986) marks the beginning of the art theory and artificial intelligence discourse in Greece (Zikou, 2017).
