BIO+CV
“Every sound piece, audio visual, and lecture-performance becomes an opportunity to show how humans can shape technological systems that feel, relate and empathize. I urge audiences to reimagine futures where these systems move beyond structures built to extract, perpetuate bias, and oppress.” - ana roman
Ana Roman is a multidisciplinary creative technologist, workshop facilitator, and Sonic Arts teaching artist whose work sits at the intersection of generative arts, sonic cyberfeminism, and algorithmic bias. Their critical practice investigates the complex relationships between gender and technology, with a particular focus on Empathetic AI, avatarization, data rights, and the transformative impact of AI on human identity.
Ana has presented workshop performances and lectures at leading institutions including MIT Media Lab, NYU Tandon, NYU Clive Davis Institute, NYU ITP, Columbia University, California Polytechnic State University, and Berklee College of Music. As an active electronic music producer and DJ (Sonar Festival, Refraction Festival, DJ Magazine, Mix Mag), Ana continues to advance research in technological democratization and music technology innovation, most recently through the ongoing projects at Bogota Experimental Film Festival (Cinematic Bogota), DATLAB NYC (Hosted by Touchdesigner) and Creative Code Art NYC
