Nouf Aljowaysir is a Saudi, New York based new media artist exploring the underlying logic of technological innovations through a personal and intimate lens. Her recent work examines artificial intelligence and our evolving relationship with algorithms. Grounded in research and experimentation, her practice navigates intimate questions with AI tools to challenge their conventional utility and uncover their capitalist motivations. She highlights how artificial intelligence, built through a lens of Western reductionism, causes erasure and an algorithmic flattening of our world and stories through data generalization and biased, limited training sets.
Nouf has exhibited projects in galleries and festivals globally, including Centre Pompidou, New Museum, Museo Tamayo, M+ Museum, CPH:DOX, Tribeca Film Festival, PAF Festival and others. Her latest film Ana Min Wein? (Where Am I From?) premiered at IDFA and was officially released with The New York Times Op-Docs series.
