Irina Angles is a dancer, choreographer and multidisciplinary artist based in Paris. She first navigated the contemporary and urban dance scenes, with a keen interest in hip-hop, funk and vogue culture. Her 15 years experience has since brought her to develop her own dance teaching method “Flying Angles”.
Finding fascination in the forms her body can sculpt in space, she delves into the enthralling connection between physical movement and digital art forms. Her focus on communications, technology and movement has brought her to ponder the role each has on its own and together in her art form and collaborate with other artists to push the boundaries of her reflection.
She is part of the duo “Entangled Others” with Roope Rainsto, whose synergy has birthed multiple pieces of art. Angles, through the fluidity of her dance performances, provides the initial spark, which Rainisto then meticulously molds using custom-trained models, each tailored to the essence of the piece or collection at hand. These exclusive models, fine-tuned by the artist, facilitate a layered creative process: an orchestrated interchange of input and output amongst various AI systems over several days of iterative refinement. This methodical process, gradually stripping away the excess logic, eventually unveils a piece that resonates with a balance of objectivity and subjectivity, manifesting the harmonious fusion of their distinct artistic realms.
“Any technology is neutral, and only a person can give it the meaning and role it will serve. It is only a mirror for those who are using it”.
Angles has won numerous awards and has performed across the globe including at the Center Pompidou (Paris), the Non Fungible Conference (Lisbon) and the Noor Light Festival in Riyadh.
