It was a typical Monday morning at Springdale High School, and Mrs. Thompson, the quirky and lovable teacher, was preparing for another exciting day of teaching her students. As she walked into her classroom, she noticed that her trusty laptop was nowhere to be found. She had left it on her desk the previous day, but it seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Fanny Cammaert is a digital artist living in Belgium. She adopted the stage name Lizzie Stardust as a member of the electro group Velvet Underwear. Since recording and touring with that group, she began working in visual media. Drawing on the kilim weaving that is part of her Ukrainian heritage, her art explores the interplay of digital patterns and electronic glitches. Thematically, her work brings digital infinity into connection with human emotions.
