Artist statement:  
„Creating my works, I use VR technologies to dissect the fabrics of physical and digital realities. I reassemble their “fragments” into an experience that gives a person a different look at life in its complex diversity. From images, symbols and scans I weave a special labyrinth, into which one can dive to different, individually necessary depths, and emerge from it with even greater empathy for the world around you, yourself and other people.“ 

Carla Knopp is an XR artist with deep roots in exploratory studio painting. In both
areas she uses visual allegory to present various themes focused on human existence.
She is particularly interested in paradoxes where conflicting desires or ideas coexist in
the same conceptual territory.
Carla’s painting career spans 30+ years and includes exhibitions throughout the USA.
In 2015 she began building virtual environments for 2D and 360 videos. These works
have screened worldwide at various festivals and events. Carla currently creates
spatial content for metaverse worlds and other XR projects. When not roaming virtual
spaces as Olgelta, she lives and works in an urban mini-forest in Indianapolis, USA
