As a former dancer turned installation artist, Nina Waisman is fascinated by the critical role that movement-based modes of thinking play in forming thought. Scientists call such “physical thinking” the pre-conscious scaffolding for all human logic. Waisman’s interactive sound installations, videos and collaborative performances pose questions about embodied thinking, while focusing on related issues, including surveillance, invisible labor & machine-human feedback loops. After a year-plus run as an artist-in-residence at the SETI Institute, Nina is beginning a series of artworks exploring non-human intelligences, from animal on through to possible plant, microbial and ET intelligences.
