A little more info ...
Dr. Anitza Geneve is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, drawing, computer-generated interactive media, and the written word. Often blending various approaches and assets, her work has evolved over more than three decades of part-time practice.
With formal qualifications in multimedia, graphic design and digital video, Dr. Geneve taught in both the vocational and university sectors across Australia and internationally throughout the 2000s—during the rise of Facebook and YouTube. In the early 2000s, she began her PhD with the European Graduate School, pursuing an interest in continental philosophy (Nietzsche & Heidegger). She attended workshops with renowned artists and thinkers such as Antony Gormley and Jean Baudrillard. Pregnant and unable to fly back to Europe from Australia (or walk up the mountains of Saas Fee), she deferred that PhD and completed another in Australia on the topic of women's participation in multimedia and games development with a theoretical focus of human agency.
One of Dr. Geneve's key digital works is Author Unknown, a project that has evolved over several decades, beginning in 1994 and continuing to the present. The work examines the intersection of technology and narrative. It is a narrative exploring the impact of technology on a women's life. As a body of work, it explores the impact of technology on narrative itself. Dr. Geneve invites audiences to reflect on the profound influence of technology on identity, relationships, and the art of storytelling itself.
Author Unknown was last exhibited in 2007 in Canada, almost 20 years ago. Dr. Geneve is currently working on a new iteration, Author Unknown, which incorporates the impact of social media and the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI).
