About



Sabina Scorțanu Iacub is a Moldovan-Romanian graphic designer and multimedia artist, a recent graduate of the GEO-design Master’s programme, at Design Academy Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
Her work and research evolve from a fascination with the tensions between natural phenomena and their scientific dissection, and how these tensions manifest across different scales. These scales are explored within artistic, geo-psychological, biological, and cybernetic contexts. Sabina works across a variety of artistic media, including experimental animation, graphic design, DIY electronics, vocal performance, metalwork, film, and writing.

Through both theoretical and poetic approaches, she conducts research-based artistic investigations into plant biology and genetics, and energy and communication infrastructures, particularly related to the post-Soviet Moldovan context. She develops non-linear narratives and interactive methodologies, that engage critically with the post-Soviet scientific inheritance, its obscured technological traces, and the landscape created as a result of this past. Through audiovisual media and metal craft, she seeks to reinterpret her findings through an approach which she calls “scientific distortion”.
