Lesia Vasylchenko (born in Kyiv, Ukraine) is an artist and a researcher. Her practice spans video, photography, and installation, focusing on the intersections of visual culture, media technologies, and chronopolitics. She develops speculative terminology such as "Tachyonic Data" (Onassis Publications) and "Chronosphere" (Institute of Network Cultures) to critically explore temporality, more-than-human time, and technologies of vision. Vasylchenko is the founder of STRUKTURA.Time, an interdisciplinary initiative bridging visual art, media archaeology, literature, and philosophy. Vasylchenko holds a degree in Journalism from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and a degree in Fine Art from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. Her work has been shown, among others, at the MUNCH Triennial, Pochen Biennale, and New Visions Triennial. She received the Sandefjord Kunstforening Art Award (2023) and the PinchukArtCentre Prize (2025). Her work are part of the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art KIASMA / Finnish National Gallery in Helsinki, Finland.
