Title AI and biometric data: jazz session with my own brain
Format Project presentation
Main language English
Abstract AI and biometric data: jazz session with my own brain is a cross-disciplinary research project that investigates how a performer’s biometric data—specifically brain activity—can be used as a prompt for AI to be remediated live into sound during a performance. In this way, a performance artist can have a kind of jazz session with her own brain. I have a background in performance art with a focus on sound- and voice-based performance, often incorporating narratives of cultural history. I am working with a program developed in Processing and access biometric data from my body during the creative processess—either live on stage while creating, or while creating in my studio. Data is used as AI prompt to be remediated into sound. All biometric data collected during the project is exclusively from my own body. The research focuses on extending the performing body through technology, remediating biometric data, and using AI to transform this data into sound. This process enables a form of co-creation between the human performer and AI. The aim of my research is to develop new tools for performance remediation, strengthening interaction, and enhancing empathic connections with members of the audience by utilizing biometric data and AI remediation as records of the inner states of the performing body.

Short biographies of the presenter(s)
  • Marija Griniuk

    Lithuanian artist with a background in visual arts, performance art, and performance pedagogy. Griniuk studies new ways of connecting biometric data from performing body and AI. She holds a Doctor of Arts from The University of Lapland in Finland and during 2024-2026 was a postdoctoral researcher at Vilnius Academy of Arts in Lithuania. Since 2025 she is affiliated with the Nordlandsmuseet as the southern department leader.
Previous presentations or iterations of the research I have started to work on experiments towards combining AI and biometric data in 2025 and currently am applying for the postdoctoral positions with this theme, anyway the theme has not been published or presented at any platform yet.
Additional information I will need formal invitation for the event to be able to fund my participation
Spatial and technical requirements I will need PA/sound equipment and projector
