Esther Hunziker creates from the inbetween, where fragments collide and dissolve, identities shift and murmur, rewritten from latent spaces of forgotten data. Her work is born from tension: construction and deconstruction, noise and clarity, order and its collapse. Since 1993, Esther is working across diverse fields of media art, from early experimental videos to deconstructed online narratives, audiovisual animations, interactive installations and AI-generated images. Esther creates her own stories and digital creatures that haunt the fringes of our media world. It's not about fantasy – but about the inescapable presence of the machine: its logic, its mistakes, and its whispers of the unknown. It's a space where data dreams and memory deforms, a space charged with both excitement and unease.

”Haunting is an inherent property of media; it is the spectral presence that technology both reveals and conceals.” (Jeffrey Scone, “Haunted Media: Electronic Presence from Telegraphy to Television”)
