Cibelle Cavalli Bastos's practice as research engages with the changing conceptualisation of identity, performativity, pictorial communication and the propagation of behavioural patterns in the digital age. It observes the challenges to perception and cognition under a white-supremacist cis-hetero-normative patriarchal psyche turbo-powered by platform capitalism and explores how counter-discourses, that challenge dominant narratives around sociopolitical issues, can be embedded or used as a form of resistance against the propagation of algorithmic behaviour.

Striving for subjective consistency, rather than formal consistency, material investigation probes the subconscious. All works occur on the intersection of purpose, occasion, and site-specificity expressed interdisciplinarity through performance-related work, immersive installations, AR/ML/AI, lectures, workshops, musical and text-based work, as well as individual formally resolute pieces.
