ArtLovers Tip

Pay close attention to the subtle transitions between the archival material and the artist's original 3D animations—it is in these moments that the link between old mysticism and new media becomes most clear.

Exhibition Highlights - What you'll see

Margarita Athanasiou explores the intersection of ancient mysticism and modern technology. Through VOICES, she traces the evolution of spiritual channeling from its early roots to today's digital interfaces. This video essay is anchored by the artist’s own childhood and interviews with her grandmother, turning a historical inquiry into an intimate exploration of inherited narratives and the gendered nature of communication.

You're watching a triple-screen installation bathed in 7.1 surround sound. Archival footage and found digital fragments flicker across the museum walls, creating a rhythmic, hypnotic space. The sound of shifting voices fills the room, making the feminine body feel like a living vessel—a medium where personal testimony and collective technological mythologies collide in the heart of Athens.

Worth the trip

  • Athens Homecoming: After its international debut, this is the first time the artist brings her deeply personal study of ancestral voices to her home city.
  • Tech-Spiritual Fusion: The work offers a rare look at how New Age practices and emerging technologies are not opposites, but symbiotic tools for self-transformation.
  • Immersive Scale: The three-channel format and complex soundscape transform the gallery into a sensory archive, making the concept of channeling a physical experience.

How to experience it

Allow the 43-minute duration to wash over you rather than trying to decode every frame at once. Sit near the center of the speakers to let the layered sound design guide your focus. Afterward, walk through the nearby streets of Koukaki, letting the city’s layered history resonate with the digital ghosts you just encountered in the gallery.
