Minne Atairu

Minne Atairu is an interdisciplinary artist and doctoral student in the Art and Art Education program at Teachers College of Columbia University. Minne's research emerges at the intersection of machine learning, art education and hip-hop pedagogy. Through the use of Artificial Intelligence (StyleGAN, GPT-3), Minne recombines historical fragments, sculptures, texts, images, and sounds to generate synthetic Benin Bronzes which often hinge on questions of repatriation and post-repatriation. For Minne's residency at the Movement Lab, she will focus on developing a CGI film using motion and facial capture technologies.
