Contemporary artist + technologist from Bulgaria working across visual culture, cloud architecture, and digital infrastructures.
This GitHub space hosts my ongoing experiments in web-based exhibitions, art–tech platforms, and critical software infrastructures.
I’m Nikola Stoyanov, a Bulgarian artist, philosopher, and FinTech analyst based between Varna and Sofia.
My work bridges the fields of contemporary art, critical theory, and software infrastructure, focusing on how technical systems shape cultural production.
My current interests include:
- Cloud automation & data visualization in artistic contexts
- Static-site architectures (Hugo, Netlify, Cloudflare)
- Integrating Decap CMS, GitHub Actions, and Stream APIs for hybrid film-art platforms
- The aesthetics of infrastructure, scrap materiality, and automation
