This article is part of our Women in Net Art series, a weekly column curated by artist Nicole Ruggiero. Read more articles from this series here.This week's artist proves you don't have to be a lifelong computer whiz to build the CGI universe of your dreams. Stacie Ant is a Russian-Canadian artist and curator who's currently based in Berlin, and, even though she only started working in 3D pretty recently, she has a really strong point of view. Her aesthetic is net nostalgia mixed with futuristic fashion (plus aliens).

A friend actually recommended Stacie's work to me, and as soon as I saw her Windows 95 video and her CRT monitor pieces, I was like, "Okay, I like this girl!" There's this cool 2000s throwback vibe mixed with sci-fi fantasy. Like, if you put The Sims in a blender with the Kardashians and put them into the set of Fifth Element, you might get Stacie's work. I also love that all of her avatars are female! Hell yes.I asked Stacie to share some of her work and fill out a questionnaire to help you get to know her better. Keep scrolling to get to all that.
