Join Girls’ Club for a brunch visit! Girls’ Club hears from local artist AdrienneRose Gionta about her recent projects exploring the intersection of art and technology through her “big, & beautiful; body” of work, research, and inspiration:

IDENTITY & BODIES IN EXTENDED REALITY (XR) & SOMEWHERE IN-BETWEEN

AdrienneRose Gionta is a multi-disciplinary artist, curator, and VJ. Her work within extended reality (XR) employs web-based practices, artificial intelligence (AI), interactive installations, virtual reality (VR), video, sound, photography, sculpture, and drawing to analyze identity and cultural assumptions about fatness, beauty standards, embodiment, pleasure, and fulfillment on and offline. Gionta is currently an Artist in Residence at Oolite Arts in Miami.

Since 2004, Gionta’s work has been exploring programmed biases through the algorithms of the internet as well as within extended reality platforms such as Snapchat (AR), the Sims (VR), and Second Life (the OG Metaverse) to question the inclusion, limitless possibilities, and representation of fat-bodied females in art by a fat female artist.

Her most recent explorations in the Metaverse along with AI generative art platforms such as DALL-E 2, ChatGBT, and Midjourney demonstrate that there is still so much more to explore, learn, create, and share when it comes to art, technology, body image, and identity IRL and beyond.
