Slitrobo

United States of America

Slitrobo (Vova Shlygin, b. 1991, Russia) is a contemporary artist based in LA, US, working at the intersection technology, and philosophy. His practice explores the relationship between consciousness and matter, viewing life as a recursive expression of dynamic stability within chaos. Using software systems and audiovisual installations, he creates digital environments that simulate living matter and encourage embodied engagement. He is drawn to themes of duality, emergence, and will, which he expresses through systems that mirror natural behavior: fractals, symmetries, and feedback loops. His works emerge through a dialogue between instinct and code, using procedural algorithms, generative AI, modular synthesis, analog photography, and biometric sensors. Often he begins with real-world data, such as brainwaves, breathing rhythms, or photographs, and embeds them into computational systems. Over time, he shifted from raw measurement to embodied synchrony, as in Mythology (2024), dissolving the individual into shared rhythms of existence. In a world fractured by informational noise and algorithmic distraction, he wants to create works that slow perception, reawaken inner rhythms, and ritualize awareness. For him, digital tools are not an escape from the body but a medium for embodied contemplation, empathy, and collective presence in the here and now.

Slitrobo’s projects have been presented at Valeries Factory (Buenos Aires, 2025) and featured in several pavilions of The Wrong Biennale (2025). His practice also includes collaborations with institutions such as Garage Museum, the Jewish Museum, and Strelka Institute, as well as global brands including Samsung, Snap Inc., eBay and BP.
