Lisa Jamhoury
Lisa Jamhoury is a Lebanese-American movement artist, designer, and programmer. Rooted in contemporary circus and nonfiction storytelling, her practice includes interactive performances, installations, and websites that envision an uplifted relationship between people and computers. Centered in movement and presence, her performances use computation to highlight the body's dynamism and encourage people to be aware of their physicality. Her work with networks and machine learning explores the internet as a platform for embodied creativity and play. Lisa developed and maintains the open-source tool, Kinectron, which brings lo-fi real-time motion capture data into the browser. As an aerial acrobat, she has choreographed and performed across the United States. Her work has been recognized by the Contemporary Art Society, the Streb Lab for Action Mechanics, and Google xStory, among others. She lives and works in Burlington, VT, and Brooklyn, NY, and is an adjunct arts professor at New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program.
