Anita Fontaine’s radical creations intersect art, fashion, advertising and technology. Celebrated as an artist, director and creative director, her work straddles virtual dimensions that verge on beauty and experimentation. Her future forward vision and hyper real aesthetic have evolved into a recognized brand, making her a favorite collaborator of Louis Vuitton, Diesel, MAC Cosmetics, Vice and Google. Hailing from Australia, Anita played in goth hop bands creating game art hacks while studying photography, film and video game design. Anita relocated to Canada in 2002 to become an artist in residence at the pioneering Banff New Media Institute, where she created digital art experiments for 3 years inside a magic mountain national park. She now lives and works in Amsterdam.
