Opening Reception January 23rd 4:30-6:30
University of Connecticut
830 Bolton Road Storrs, Connecticut 06269
Curated by Wendy Wischer
Data Infused showcases seven artists who use data as both a design material and a medium for creative expression. Moving beyond data visualization, these artists explore data's potential in artistic storytelling, transforming raw information into tangible art forms. By doing so, they reimagine data's role, emphasizing its cultural, social and artistic significance.
The participating artists bridge traditional art practices such as drawing, printmaking, painting, sculpture, performance, and sound, with innovative digital techniques. These include custom code, algorithms, Artificial Intelligence (AI), CNC and laser etching, digital photography, and pen plotting. Their work is displayed through a wide array of media; including digital monitors, NFTs, murals, photography, sculptures, public art, and painted or printed surfaces. Data Infused will include a sampling of some of their artistic processes, offering audiences a deeper understanding of how data is transformed into unique creative outputs.
The exhibition highlights the evolving role of data in art, demonstrating its capacity to shape cultural narratives, explore identity, and inspire innovative artistic practices.

Liquid Art System presents Tiffany Trenda’s Loss of Touch Series at Art Miami 2024
Internationally acclaimed artist Tiffany Trenda unveils her compelling Loss of Touch series at Art Miami 2024, a work that examines the evolving relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence. Running from December 3–8, 2024, Art Miami provides an ideal platform for Trenda’s thought-provoking exploration of AI’s inability to fully comprehend the human experience.
About Loss of Touch
In this poignant series, Trenda obscures the hands of her subjects, highlighting the inherent limitations of artificial intelligence in interpreting one of the most complex and essential aspects of the human body. The hand, a symbol of connection and tactile creation, becomes a focal absence in the works, drawing attention to the machine's challenges in recognizing and replicating these intricate forms.
This artistic gesture critiques AI's growing role in creative processes and its contribution to the decline of handmade artistry. By deliberately obscuring the hands, Trenda not only underscores this diminishing connection to tactile craftsmanship but also questions the broader implications of a world increasingly dominated by technology. The Loss of Touch series reflects the tension between our physical and digital realities, where intimacy and interaction are increasingly mediated through screens and algorithms.
Through layered textures and evocative compositions, Loss of Touch invites viewers to reflect on the delicate balance between innovation and human connection, urging us to confront what is lost in the pursuit of technological progress.

Refractions of Materiality Solo Exhibition at Liquid Art System in Capri, Italy
Artist Tiffany Trenda is set to unveil her latest series, “Refractions of Materiality,” at the prestigious Liquid Art System Gallery in Capri, Italy. This exhibition marks a significant evolution in Trenda’s artistic exploration, introducing a debut work that seamlessly integrates transparent mediums with paint and artificial intelligence (AI), inviting viewers into a realm where digital and physical converge.
In “Refractions of Materiality,” Trenda challenges and transforms the traditional portrayal of the human body and material presence. Her innovative approach obscures and reinterprets real images of the body, provoking a reevaluation of the authenticity we typically associate with physical forms. Through the fusion of digital transformations and the tangible essence of painting, Trenda creates compelling illusions that blur the lines between real forms and artificial.
Tiffany Trenda's work continues to captivate and provoke thought, making “Refractions of Materiality” a must-see exhibition for those interested in the human body and technology.

Beyond Performance at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art
Beyond Performance is currently on view at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. The ongoing series of images by Tiffany Trenda, ventures into the realm of performance art and artificial intelligence. Through the integration of smart applications and her performance archive, she introduces a new dimension to the traditional understanding of the body in performance art. These imaginative performances only exist in the digital realm, blurring the boundaries between what is real and what is fictional. These imagined performances push the limits of what can be, challenging conventional notions of identity and representation within simulated experiences.
This work invites viewers to contemplate the fluidity of meaning and the interplay between machine perception (how artificial intelligence interprets the performance art data set) and human subjectivity. The images offer a new lens, through which we can understand and navigate the complexities of the body in the digital age.
For more information, please visit the museums website at: https://smoca.org/exhibition/beyond-performance/
“Beyond Performance” is an ongoing project presented on Tiffany Trenda’s Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/tiffanytrenda/. During the course of the exhibition, new images will be added.

Tiffany Trenda will be performing Body Code at CONTEXT and Art Miami. For more than a decade, the Body Code project by artist Tiffany Trenda, has remained a dynamic and continuously evolving performance piece, adapting to shifts in the ever-changing Internet. Trenda now, employs ChatGPT to engage in a dialogue with the AI program, delving into inquiries regarding the human body and the impact of artificial intelligence on it. Can AI be a reliable source of information about the body, or does it resemble a mere tape recorder parroting inaccurate data?

Body Code Performance at ARS Electronica
Tiffany Trenda will be performing Body Code at 13:00. Body Code is an artistic exploration of the relationship between the human body and data in the digital age. For more than a decade, the Body Code project has remained a dynamic and continuously evolving performance piece, adapting to shifts in the ever-changing Internet. In the context of ARS, the artist will employ ChatGPT to engage in a dialogue with the AI program, delving into inquiries regarding the human body and the impact of artificial intelligence on it. The intention is to contemplate how, in the era of abundant online data, we can reestablish a meaningful connection with our own bodies and the world around us. Can AI be a reliable source of information about the body, or does it possess the potential to propagate falsehoods, at times resembling a mere tape recorder parroting inaccurate data? Ultimately, this raises the fundamental question: Where does the truth about the human body lie, and who wields the authority over it?
The theme of Ars Electronica in 2023, this year formulated as a question, aims directly at key disputed topics of our time: truth and ownership, interpretive authority and sovereignty. Can truth be owned? Is there a right to truth and if it does belong to someone, what control and responsibility are associated with it?

Hyphen Hub @ ARS Along with the performance, Trenda will also be exhibiting videos of past performances at the Garden in Post City.
Hyphen Hub is a New York-based non-profit interdisciplinary new media art organization that explores, promotes, and presents new visions of the future through the integration of art and emerging technologies. Hyphen Hub produces innovative live performances, organizes art salons, and curates art exhibitions with established and emerging new media artists who work on the vanguard of creative technologies — from augmented and virtual reality to artificial intelligence, FashionTech, bionics, robotics, and cyborgism.
