Ex Machina - Connie Bakshi (PF02)
AI artist Connie Bakshi talks bending the rules to break the algorithm at NFTuesdayLA.
Connie will share her journey through the unspoken, undefinable, and invisible aspects of language — leaving attendees to consider the hidden binaries that shape our relationship to the machine and to one another.
ABOUT CONNIE BAKSHI
Connie Bakshi is an artist, classical musician, and engineer based out of Los Angeles. Working predominantly with artificial intelligence, she unfolds lore and rituals of the past that would collide with dreams of post-colonial futures. Her works mediate between digital memory embedded in AI and collective consciousness emerging on the blockchain to question the relationships between past and future, humanity and technology.
Her previous work includes a generative opera derived from DNA, a lighting series based on the ancient craft of Japanese urushi lacquerware, and creative innovation for startups like Rivian Automotive. She has won the Red Dot: Best of the Best Award for industrial design, the International Takifuji Art Award, and has exhibited at SaloneSatellite in Milan. She is an alumna of NEW INC, the New Museum’s incubator for art, technology, and design.
Connie is descended from the ancestral shamans of Taiwan.
