Tatar Alian Nazmeeva explores the mutualistic relationship between Hong Kong’s pollinators and flowers, which are shaped over countless iterations of adaptation and exist in a delicate choreography of visibility and concealment. What appears to us as a still moment of floral beauty is, in another spectrum, an active network of signals, flickering responses, and spectral exchanges. The flowers become living textures, dynamic interfaces between perception and illusion, much like digital surfaces that shift, blur, and fragment in response to unseen algorithms.

Alina Nazmeeva is a Tatarstan-born media artist whose work examines the material and cultural implications of technology. Her work integrates XR, AI, textile, physical installation, digital simulation, and gaming engines as storytelling devices and as sites of critique. With these diverse media, Alina creates complex worlds focused on how technologies, emerging and established, shape the ways of knowing, living and becoming for both humans and non-humans.

Alina is Assistant Professor of Computation at Illinois School of Architecture. She holds a Masters degree from MIT School of Architecture and Planning. She was a fellow-in-residence at the University of Michigan (2022-2024), researcher-in-residence at Canadian Centre of Architecture (2022) and at Strelka Institute(2017). Alina’s work has been exhibited at the Venice Biennale of Architecture, Future Arts Seattle, Boston Cyberarts, Chicago Gamespace, the Architecture + Design Museum in Los Angeles, Beall Center for Art + Technology, DA Z and Slamdance festivals. Her writing has appeared in Plat, Voices (Towards Other Institutions), and Media-N, among others. She presented her work at Harvard GSD, the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, Politechnico Di Milano, SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 and ISEA 2025 (Forthcoming) .

Alina Nazmeeva 以香港的花粉傳播者與花朵之間的互惠關係，經過無數次適應與演化，形成了一場可見與隱藏之間的舞蹈。花朵綻放出生動的紋理，是介於感知與幻象之間的動態界面，猶如數碼世界在隱藏的演算法驅動下發生的變化、模糊與碎裂。

生於韃靼斯坦的媒體藝術家Alina Nazmeeva以作品探討科技的物質和文化意義。她將 XR（延展實境）、AI（人工智能）、紡織品、實體裝置、數位模擬和遊戲引擎整合為一種嶄新的敘事方式。Alina透過這些多樣化的媒介，創造出錯綜複雜的世界，展示科技如何改變人類和非人類的成長、認知和生活方式。

Alina 是伊利諾大學建築學院的計算學助理教授，同時擁有麻省理工學院建築與規劃學院的碩士學位。她曾於密歇根大學（2022 – 2024 年）、加拿大建築中心（2022 年）和 Strelka 研究所（2017 年）擔任駐校研究員。在威尼斯建築雙年展、Future Arts Seattle、波士頓網路藝術廊、Chicago Gamespace、洛杉磯建築與設計博物館、比爾藝術與科技中心、蘇黎世數碼藝術節 和 Slamdance電影節皆可看見她的作品。她的文章曾於《Plat》、《Voices (Towards Other Institutions)》和《Media-N》等學術期刊與書籍上發表。她在哈佛大學設計研究生院、布拉格藝術建築與設計學院、米蘭理工大學、SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 展示過作品，並即將參與2025年度的 ISEA 國際電子藝術研討會。
