BIO

As a former dancer turned installation artist, Nina Waisman is fascinated by the critical roles that movement and sensation play in forming thought. Her interactive sound installations, videos and collaborative performances highlight the subliminal training and possible hacking of embodied thinking. These works focus on related issues including surveillance, invisible labor, border control, machine-human feedback loops, nanotechnology. Venues include House of World Cultures, Berlin; LAXART; CECUT, Tijuana; OCMA; Beall Center; Zero1 2012. After a year as an artist in residence at SETI Institute, Waisman is launching a series of collaborative artworks exploring the role of embodiment in forming non-human intelligences, including microbial and extraterrestrial intelligences. With support from 18th Street Arts, Lucas Artists’ Residency and the Hammer Museum, works will be presented starting in 2017.


SELECTED SOLO & GROUP SHOWS

Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, California. The Laboratory for Embodied Intelligences; Through playful meditations and movement exercises, LEI will use the Hammer’s stage and courtyard to offer workshop members and drop-in participants access to the vast treasure of behaviors and communication techniques invented and enacted by microbes. Developed by Nina Waisman and Flora Wiegmann, the Hammer LEI experiments aim to make physically palpable our discoveries around the following questions: How can humans “try on” non-human behaviors in order to perceive them viscerally, gaining knowledge unavailable through classic data analysis? What can we learn from the highly successful behaviors and communication methods our microbial colleagues and ancestors employ? Future performances and happenings will be built from these workshops.
