Avital Meshi is a new media and performance artist. While examining Artificial Intelligence technology, Meshi invites viewers to become entangled with algorithms and discuss identity, surveillance, face/body recognition, image/text generation, movement, story-telling, and world-building. Taking inspiration from posthuman performativity and agential realism, she develops her performative art practice by spending time with algorithms, trying to communicate with them, and finding ways to collaborate with them.
