In this new work, AnaMary draws on the confrontation between two mathematical methodologies: musical and computational, to generate an audiovisual event. The musical humming of various orchestra conductors animates “puppets” generated by an obsolete Artificial Intelligence application.
AnaMary Bilbao (PT/ES) was born in Lisbon. Her recent time-based works emerge from a close interplay between image and sound. She employs these elements to probe speculative forms of duration and perception, positioning the non-linearity of time as a field for experimentation, creative disruptions, and critical fictions.
Her work has been recently exhibited at Galeria Avenida da Índia / Galerias Municipais – EGEAC (Lisbon), Photo Basel (Basel), International Studio & Curatorial Program (New York), Field Projects (New York), Paris Photo / Curiosa (Paris), MAAT – The Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (Lisbon), Opening Arco Madrid (Madrid), Leal Rios Foundation (Lisbon), PLMJ Foundation (Lisbon), among others. Bilbao’s videos have been screened in venues such as Anthology Film Archives (org. Mono No Aware, New York), MoMA – Museum of Modern Art (org. Mono No Aware, New York), Hangar CIA (Lisbon), Novo Negócio – Zé dos Bois Gallery (Lisbon), Batalha Centro de Cinema (org. Contemporânea, Porto), or MAAT (16.ª ed. Fuso, Lisbon).

Fuso, 2024); Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Grant for studying visual arts abroad (2023/2024); Luso-American Development Foundation Artist Residency in the U.S.A.
