Jelena Visković is an artist born in 1989 in Zagreb, Yugoslavia (Croatia), raised between Belgrade and Budapest, currently working in London. She works with recreation, situation, disobedience and play to challenge dominant power structures in techno-scientific and (art)historical narratives. Her films, games and sculptural works incorporate playful, animated, talking objects that make their way into technologically deterministic, seemingly inanimate systems. Borrowing from a cartoonish, carnivalesque logic, these worlds become rebellious but approachable, attempting to resist the enclosures of borders, institutions, archives and databases. Jelena Visković co-runs Old Mountain Assembly, a London based collaborative initiative connecting practices and ideas about the Balkans and beyond alongside Bayr(y)am Bayr(y)amali and Angelina Radaković. Her practice involves working as an educator, software developer and consultant for design studios, artists, formal and informal organisations interested in working with games and technology. She is a Lecturer in Game Design and Interactive Media at UCL CCM since 2021.
