NOUF ALJOWAYSIR
b. 1993Nouf Aljowaysir is an award winning new media artist based in Brooklyn. She splits her time between the art and tech world to study how technologies are designed and their consequential impacts on society and culture. Her artistic research and work specifically focuses on our changing relationship with algorithms. She poses intimate questions to tools of “intelligence”, using the exchange to reflect not only on herself but also on how these systems shape our ways of seeing and thinking.
Nouf has been awarded residencies at ThoughtWorks Arts and Somerset House. Her work has been exhibited internationally at galleries and festivals such as the Centre Pompidou, M+ Museum, CPH:DOX, and the Tribeca Film Festival, among others.
Her film Ana Min Wein? (Where Am I From?) won the 2023 Lumen Prize for Moving Image and was released by The New York Times Op-Docs series in June 2024. Nouf’s latest piece, Salaf (Ancestors), is currently featured in the group exhibition The World through AI at Jeu de Paume.
