Anni Garza Lau

Artist Anni Garza Lau will activate her piece Programmed Symbiosis: The Post-Internet Body in the MAZ's project room as part of the opening of the exhibition Sends from the Future: Exercises in Speculative Latin American Design. In this work, Garza Lau imagines a future in which bodies and technologies coexist in a regime of mutual control. Implants, networks, and a retrofuturistic aesthetic generate extra-everyday experiences that can be activated by the public through the use of suits that modify perception in real time.

Anni Garza Lau is a transdisciplinary artist and programmer based in Mexico City. Her practice questions the use of technological devices in everyday life and their effects on identity, privacy, social behavior, and the perception of reality. Through the appropriation and design of physical and digital interactive interfaces, as well as the use of textiles, drawing, video, and performance, her works generate disruptive experiences that foster dialogue between art, science, culture, technology, and humanity. Garza Lau is particularly interested in speculative futures design and the development of a posthumous identity.
