Esther Hunziker is a Swiss freelance artist and lecturer on digital media. She works as a media designer with a focus on web design. Before studying art, she learned the trade of dressmaking and studied fashion design in Basel. Afterwards, she established her own fashion brand, worked as a screen designer, experimented with analog video-editing technology and created her first interactive narrative forms in the digital network. The artist’s creations are often based on surveillance technologies, objets trouvés, architectural photos, deconstructions or montages. They address the clash between apparent realities and real illusory worlds.
