Đurđija’s multidisciplinary practice transforms field recordings and overheard voices into profound cultural inquiries. From wartime Yugoslavia’s radio static to New York subway arias, this conversation explores how the act of listening maps the hidden hierarchies of our world.

Yasmine Laraqui’s multidisciplinary work transforms the image into a live sociological experiment, exploring the fluid mechanics of human belonging under platform capitalism.

Jiaqi Liu’s work begins with a deceptively simple proposition: construct a condition precisely enough that something larger than the artist can begin to unfold. Across technology, imaging, performance, writing, and public-facing works, she is less interested in medium as identity than in the subtle point where structure becomes experience.

Yijun Yang’s work moves between domesticity and visual fiction, creating constructed scenes that examine the fragility of memory and cultural identity. Yang utilizes everyday objects manipulated at unexpected scales to present images of tangible stillness that hold deep feeling beyond mere narrative or explanation. In this conversation, she invites us to her profound collaborative philosophy on how empty spaces continue to carry emotional resonance long after a character has exited the frame.

As an Art Lead working across multiplatform game development and an independent artist, Malakhov pairs his rigorous classical art education with a deep reflection on how emerging digital spaces reshape our perception of presence and memory. In this text-based interview, he opens up about his belief that visual art operates as a nonverbal "bionic code" capable of conveying raw human emotion where words fail.

This essay reads Julia de Ruiter’s practice as a form of vernacular archive, situating her work within Digimodernism and contemporary post-internet visual culture. Through analysis of memes, viral imagery, digital folklore, and algorithmic spectatorship, it examines how internet ephemera operates as cultural memory rather than disposable content.

Alongside these features, STRATUM continues to publish essays, criticism, artist writing, and long-form editorial projects that help create a more durable public record around contemporary artistic work.
