Chalet Comellas is a new media artist working with text, electronics, video, and paint. Employing a range of generative processes, her interdisciplinary projects explore computational abstraction and poetically weave together ideas on technology, spirituality, and the collective unconscious. Her multimedia and text-based works often evoke conversations on our current entanglement with algorithms and the ever-growing presence of artificial intelligence in our daily lives.
