Agnieszka Polska (b. 1985, Lublin, Poland) uses cinematic storytelling and affective technologies to address the perpetually negotiated relationship between human and technology, examining the processes that mutually influence and legitimate this relationship in language, history and consciousness. She is interested in the question of individual social responsibility against the background of technology-driven disorientation and ideologies of technological determinism. Polska’s works combine historical research, cinematic storytelling and affective communication technologies, seeking new narrative formats at the intersection of poetry and narration, art and cinema, that correspond with the rapidly changing requirements of information-driven societies.

Polska studied at the Faculty of Arts of Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, at Faculty of Graphic Arts of Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, and in the class of Hito Steyerl at University of the Arts in Berlin. Her works are in the collections of: Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw, PL, The ING Polish Art Foundation Collection, Warsaw, PL, dela.art collection, Warsaw, PL, Wrocław Contemporary Museum, Wrocław, PL, Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art, Warsaw, PL, Centre Pompidou, Paris, FR, and Art Collection Telekom, Bonn, DE.
