Anna Nazo
Anna Nazo is a London-based international performance artist, researcher and educator whose practice engages computing technologies, philosophy and science. Her practice-led research focuses on artificial intelligence (AI & indigeneity, AI Poetry, AI Narratives), aviation technology (drone storytelling, swarm intelligence), neurotechnology, VR/360 degree imagery, Web3.0 decentralized ecosystems (metaverse, DAOs, NFTs) and ecological sustainability. Within live phygital audiovisual performance her work investigates questions of intelligence diversity, distributed forms of sensuousness, digital queer ecologies, and ethics of technology. It looks at ways of understanding intelligence and liveness in relation to nonconscious cognition, quantum reality and sympoietic complexities.
