Algorithmic artist, writer and speaker
Biography
Ada Ada Ada (she/they, 1992, Denmark), based in Copenhagen.Ada Ada Ada is an algorithmic artist, writer and speaker, who works with gender, queerness and bodies as perceived by computers through algorithms, software, "artificial intelligence" and more.
Ada moves between art forms, and so far, her practice has included performative photography, video, generative art, net art, writing, interactive installations as well as live "artificial intelligence" performance.
The question at the heart of Ada's art practice is: How can algorithms be used to understand and challenge experiences of gender and bodies in novel ways?
Self-portraiture and her lived experience as a trans woman has been a throughline in her practice since the beginning. It is often combined with computational procedures and approaches to investigate societal biases, struggles, concerns and politics.
Ada has a background as a computer programmer and interaction designer. In 2015, she co-founded the interactive art studio Circuit Circus, and finally went solo in late 2021.
Since then, she has exhibited works and performed in Copenhagen, Aarhus, New York, Berlin, Tunis, Arnhem and more.
