Paintings & Multidisciplinary Projects, Installations and Collaborations
Detail of the work beneath, titled 'Compass Rose'
I have been working with used traffic signs as a way to meditate on the impact technology has on shaping and reshaping our bodies, our brains and the planet.
Working with non-digital art-making, I want to invite people to engage in questions around the digital, that are not technological in nature but concerned with relationships.

Compass Rose, 2019, mixed media on 9 upcycled traffic signs, 1200 mm x 1500 mm
Dissipate, 2019, mixed media on upcycled traffic signs, 600mm x 1800mm
The works in SIGNS are intended to be experienced as relevant to the viewer in a similar way that a traffic sign is designed to alert the viewer to where one is and where one wants to go.
The material’s reflectivity reacts dramatically to phone-flashes and changes in light as the viewer moves around and interacts with them.
SIGNS Installation at Auckland University of Technology, Sep-Nov 2019
‘SIGNS’ is curated by Warren Pringle.
...Sampero has been using reflective traffic signs as an artistic medium for paintings, sculpture and installations, since 2010.
“The most interesting zone” she states, “is around the borders of technology where technology and other ways of knowing intersect”.
Sampero “highlights digital wayfinding and digital traffic as generative terms in the context of which her work is developed and which may
evoke further conversation”.
