Mimi Ọnụọha was born in 1989 in Parma, Italy and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Ọnụọha earned her B.A. in anthropology from Princeton University and later her MPS from NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program. Through her multimedia and archive-based practice encompassing code, installation, video, and performance, the artist investigates the power dynamics inherent in data collection and technology and how data shapes and limits our understanding of the world. Her work often highlights patterns of absence or “blank spots” that emerge from reducing complexities to finite data sets, drawing attention to the biases embedded in the data collection processes.
