Michaela Lakova (BG) is an interdisciplinary artist. Trained as a stage and costume designer, she tries to bridge her practice with a lost and found approach to media.

[DEL? No, wait! REW] asks the question, is it possible to delete?
Through a system that relies on feedback, interface and screens, the performative act of browsing, selecting and erasing someone’s data is passed over to the audience. [DEL? No, wait! REW] aims to confront the visitor with the following dilemma: whether to COPY/TRANSMIT/SHARE or to DELETE/REMOVE/ERASE retrieved files.
