At the crossroad of design, art and technology, the works of Jessica-Maria Nassif questions the notions of communication and language in contemporary scenarios.
Jessica-Maria Nassif’s work involves the creation of mystical or humorous stories to create new perspective on reality playing with her different languages, and voices while exploring performance, artificial intelligence, interactive design, sound design, installation and video.
Currently, Jessica-Maria Nassif is interested in raising awareness on the invisible contemporary surveillance and explores how language and ways of speaking can betray or save the speaker in different contexts, from war to the daily routine thus being used as tools to escape today’s panopticon.
Jessica-Maria Nassif is also one of the four members of the trojans collective.
