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.
