My name is Luca Monfre, I am an artist from Milwaukee, WI and I enjoy working in multiple mediums that cover a vast selection of disciplines. Most of my artistic practice focuses around the flaws and imperfections of "mathemetically perfect" digital media formats, their innerworkings, algorithms, and the human relationship to said concepts. I especially have an interest in compression and the self immolating nature of lossy media.

Luca Monfre is an artist who focuses on the appropriation of digital imagery and aesthetics to represent the interpersonal relationships they have with others, themself and the media they grew up with. Luca’s art heavily centers around their interests, hobbies, and comforts as well as how they can twist them into something new or representational, often borrowing imagery from their inspirations directly. Luca has previously had their works shown in "The Human_body tomorrow" exhibition at Some Fools Basement, the digital nostalgia exhibition at Between Two Galleries as well as in the MIAD Senior Thesis exhibition.
