Meet Transcorporeal Artifice Artist Huntrezz Janos

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:36:14 GMT

“Afrohungarian transcorporeal artificer” is the curiosity-fanning Instagram bio of new media artist Huntrezz Janos (she/her), and contains within its poetic brevity a universe of helpful evocation. Huntrezz operates at the exuberant and boundary-blurring intersection of technology, gaming, experimentation, community, identity, social justice, literature, generative aesthetics, adornment, mutual care, intentional embodiment, and post-body consciousness. Across video-based and augmented/mixed reality, 3-D printing, performance, robotics, digital assets including but not limited to NFTs, and most importantly all the unexplored places in between, Huntrezz hasn’t met a notion she isn’t up for challenging—including the soon to be obsolete digital/analog binary in both art and society.Art by Huntrezz JanosL.A. WEEKLY: What is your short answer to people who ask what your work is about? HUNTREZZ: My hustle revolves around experiments with contemporary technologies. I construct real and virt...
