“Angela Ferraiolo is a computational artist and researcher whose live systems investigate how artificial forms acquire history, difference, and changing capacities over time. Her current work develops Constructed Sentience, a framework for exploring how computational entities may individuate through memory, constraint, instability, and sustained interaction. Rather than using computation to represent intelligence, she creates artworks in which form and behavior emerge through continued operation.
