RISD Debates in AI: Elisa Giardina Papa

Elisa Giardina Papa’s was part of Debates in AI's AI and the Artist panel. Elisa's research-driven art practice seeks forms of knowledge and desire that have been disqualified and rendered nonsensical by hegemonic demands for order and legibility. Through critical yet poetic framing, she works across large-scale video installation, experimental films, and AI-based art projects to draw attention to those parts of our lives which remain radically unruly, untranslatable, and incomputable. Her work has been exhibited at the 59th Venice Biennale, MoMA, Whitney Museum, Martin-Gropius-Bau Berlin, ICA London, Vienna Secession, among others. Giardina Papa is Assistant Professor of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University, she lives and works in New York and Sant’Ignazio, Sicily.
