A little more info ...

Dr. Anitza Geneve is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, drawing, computer-generated interactive media, and the written word. Often blending various approaches and assets, her work has evolved over more than three decades of part-time practice.

With formal qualifications in multimedia and digital video, Dr. Geneve taught in both the vocational and university sectors across Australia and internationally throughout the 2000s—during the rise of Facebook and YouTube. In the early 2000s, she began her PhD with the European Graduate School, where she attended workshops with renowned artists and thinkers such as Antony Gormley and Jean Baudrillard. However, after becoming pregnant, she deferred the PhD due to travel constraints and later completed it in Australia, exploring a different topic.

One of Dr. Geneve's key digital works is Author Unknown, a project that has evolved over several decades, beginning in 1994 and continuing to the present. The work examines the intersection of technology and narrative, providing a deep exploration of a woman's life and the impact of digital tools on storytelling. By engaging with innovative digital media, Dr. Geneve invites audiences to reflect on the profound influence of technology on identity, relationships, and the art of storytelling itself.

Author Unknown was last exhibited in 2007 in Canada, almost 20 years ago. Dr. Geneve is currently working on a new iteration, Author Unknown (2024), which incorporates the impact of social media and the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI). This latest version of the work continues to challenge how we engage with technology, urging us to reconsider the ways in which narratives shape and reflect our world.
