Born in Caracas, Venezuela and based in Paris, new media artist and curator, Miyo Van Stenis has built up a reputation for her stunning representations of the human relationship with technology.
She says: "The existing interest in representing the relationship between humans and machines, poetry and computational science, turn my investigation in to a experimental work where the machine is expressing itself, as a kind of hyperbolic reflection of their world, first of all as an performative action where the value is the human action in pursuit of error, the unexpected, creating a meeting point between the human, the machine, the error and the undeniable desire of poetic beauty."
