Megan Volpe is a multimedia artist and director who explores identity through a metacognitive lens, using new media as a tool for psychological inquiry.
Building on a deconstructive approach to her background in film direction, she constructs symbolic narratives expressed through video art, artificial intelligence, immersive soundscapes, and site-specific installations.
Her work originates from an early interest in art as a therapeutic and emotionally generative practice.
By fragmenting and analyzing her own personal experience, Volpe reveals psychological patterns that expand into broader social and communal dimensions.
Her artistic language draws on the grotesque, blending soft color palettes with ambiguous characters, geometric compositions with disjointed editing, and liminal spaces with psychological landscapes.
These elements converge to create “mental rooms” — environments where psychic and neurological processes unfold.
Ultimately, Volpe’s practice is a search for meaning: a therapeutic dialogue with new media and a process of reconnection with the self.

“Assimilazione” is a visual reflection on thought as an evolving inner space. Through labyrinthine structures and recursive patterns, the work evokes the non-places of the mind — unstable territories where identity takes shape in the very act of processing.
The labyrinth becomes a metaphor for consciousness, which moves not in a straight line but through detours, returns, and disorientation.
To assimilate is to lose oneself in thought before reemerging transformed.
