Mayte Gómez-Molina, original from Granada, is a Spanish writer and digital artisan currently studying a MFA in Film, Video, New Media and Animation at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Ever since 2011, she has won several literary contests, among them is the XL Contest "María Agustina" in 2014 and "Málaga Crea" in 2018. Her academic research is based in the methamorphosis of feminism through digital media, the deconstruction and re-construction of the body and identity through social media, the abolishment of the boundary between the real and the virtual and the impact that mediated images have on the self and the collective consciousness. She is currently writing a novel on these topics, a book that will extend into several works of video art that deal with the materiality of images, mediation, simulation and artificial intelligence.
