Cross Media Art
research & development
Yelena Myshko is inspired by local and global social phenomenon, working with the concept of duality to get to the tension point. Her focus is set on culture and media, mixing tradition with technology and clashing norms and values of old and new. This multidisciplinary approach is incorporated in garment design and is used to create innovative experiences; online and offline.
