Christine Santos (on the right) works in digital painting and recently photocopy art, printmaking, and installation. Pulling from state digital archives and her digital snapshots, she digitally manipulates and assembles them to address colonial omission, aesthetic failure, and diasporic legacies. Connections to speculative fiction, DIY culture, and CyperPinays can be made from her work. For example, Archival Densities is an installation series with altered state records from the Digital Archive of Hawai’i to stage fictional events of resistance and image errors. Image Trace Bounties is another project that remixes the distribution of Filipino art books and Fil-Am literature through zines, paintings, and screen prints.
