Dr. Sandra Rodriguez is a multidisciplinary artist, director, and researcher working at the intersection of art, emergent media, and human creativity. Over the past fifteen years, her practice has focused on disrupting the intended uses of machine learning, generative AI, and large language models, pushing them into unexpected creative territory, from AI-augmented ballet performance and multi-user explorations of human cognition, to large-scale installations examining data and desire.
Her work has earned widespread recognition, including Canada's Governor General Award (2025), a Peabody, a Golden Nica at Ars Electronica, and awards from Numix, DOK Leipzig, and the United Nations VR festival, among others. She is a Sundance Storylab Fellow and a Sundance Institute and MacArthur Non-Fiction Grantee, and her work has been showcased and juried at Sundance, Tribeca, the Venice Biennale, SXSW, and Cannes.
Between 2015 and 2022, Rodriguez inaugurated and led HackingXR at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT's first official course on emergent media creation. Her research and artistic practice are driven by the single animating purpose to create works today that speak to the issues that will define tomorrow.
