Mimi Onuoha

Nigerian-American artist Mimi Ọnụọha, a Data & Society advisor, creates work that questions and exposes the contradictory logics of technological progress. Through print, code, data, video, installation, and archival media, Ọnụọha offers new orientations for making sense of the seeming absences that define systems of labor, ecology, and relations. Her recent solo exhibitions include bitforms gallery (USA) and Forest City Gallery (Canada), and her work has been featured at the Whitney Museum of Art (USA), the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (AUS), the Atlanta Contemporary (USA), Gropius Bau (Germany), Mao Jihong Arts Foundation (China), La Gaitê Lyrique (France), and The Photographers Gallery (UK). Her public art engagements have been supported by Akademie der Kunst (Germany), Le Centre Pompidou (France), the Royal College of Art (UK), the Rockefeller Foundation (USA), and Princeton University (USA). Ọnụọha earned her MPS from NYU Tisch’s Interactive Telecommunications Program, where she has taught as an assistant professor. She is a Creative Capital and Fulbright-National Geographic grantee, and the co-founder of A People’s Guide To Tech, an artist-led organization that makes educational guides and workshops about emerging technology.
