For its fourth edition, the Re:humanism Art Prize renews its collaboration with the Romaeuropa Festival, awarding two special prizes dedicated to the performing arts.
This year’s edition, entitled Timeline Shift, challenges the extractive logics of data and resources that currently drive the development of AI, opening the way toward more ethical, sustainable, and inclusive technological models.
During the same evening, the following performative projects will be presented:
Valerie Tameu is a performance and multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the body as a dynamic and expandable interface, in dialogue with emerging technologies, diasporic legacies, and speculative imagination. Her works place movement and somatic experiences at the center, connecting body, archives, and new technologies.
Among her recent projects: Orynthia, a performance rooted in West African mythology and natural ecosystems, structured around digital technologies such as AI, VR, and interactive elements; and Time and Again, a performance and audiovisual installation combining oral histories and archival images of Afro-descendant communities in Italy.
Her work has been presented in national and international contexts such as Centrale Fies, Ars Electronica, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, and the Italian Cultural Institute in London. She was selected for the editorial project Gucci Prospettive 3, and her work has been featured in L’Espresso.
Jess Tucker is an American and Dutch artist currently based in Berlin. Her multimedia performances and installations playfully explore how machinic vision constructs and distorts our experiences of embodiment, identity, and desire.
She is a faculty member in Digital Media at NYU Berlin and a visiting researcher in Art History at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, supported by Fulbright Germany. Her work has been presented in international exhibitions and performance programs, including Rewire Festival, FOAM Museum of Photography, Goethe-Institut, Van Gogh Museum, Mana Contemporary, and the International Museum of Surgical Science.
Jessica was the 2023 Grant Wood Fellow at the University of Iowa, specializing in interdisciplinary performance with digital media. She holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has taught video and digital art at the University of Iowa, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and the China Academy of Art.
