TANSY XIAO (usa)
Tansy Xiao es una artista, curadora y escritora que vive en Nueva York. Al emprender colaboraciones interdisciplinarias que involucran participantes humanos, sistemas tecnológicos y organismos no antropogénicos, Xiao crea instalaciones teatrales con narrativas no lineales. Su trabajo explora el inmenso poder y la inherente insuficiencia del lenguaje a través del ensamblaje de audio estocástico y objetos recontextualizados. Encuentra consuelo en lo desconocido, lo ridículo en las autoridades y lo absurdo en las demarcaciones geopolíticas que separan y diferencian a las personas.
El trabajo de Xiao se ha mostrado en el Queens Museum, New Media Caucus, Piksel Festival, Sound Scene at Hirshhorn Museum, Torrance Art Museum, NARS Foundation, HASTAC Conference, UKAI Projects, The American Society for Theatre Research, University of Porto, Osaka University of Art. , Festival de Arte Digital de Taipei, Festival de Arte y Tecnología WIP, Nuevas Aventuras en el Arte Sonoro, Pelham Art Center, entre otros. Ha recibido subvenciones y apoyo de NYSCA Electronic Media & Film | Wave Farm, Consejo de las Artes de Brooklyn, Fundación para las Artes Contemporáneas y Centro de Artes de Medios Digitales Harvestworks.
