Eko Saputra is a transmedia artist and researcher based in Venice, Italy. His practice sits at the intersection of ecology and society, cultural heritage, and digital humanities, with a particular focus on how archives, data, and AI systems shape the way we understand history and identity. He holds a PhD in History, Cultural Heritage and Territory from the University of Teramo, Italy.
Eko works across installation, generative software, and archival research, often engaging with institutions and collections across Europe. He has exhibited and presented at venues including the Venice Biennale, Ars Electronica, PalΓ‘cio das Belas Artes Lisbon, and EuropeanaTech. His research has been supported through fellowships at the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (CΒ²DH), IT:U Linz, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, among others.
Central to his work is a decolonial approach to cultural memory β examining whose stories are preserved, how they are mediated by technology, and what remains invisible in digital archives. Through his independent studio, Studio Angge, he develops projects that bridge artistic practice and critical research, often in collaboration with museums, universities, and cultural institutions across Europe.
