Anni Garza Lau is a media artist whose work explores interactions between humans and machines, with a particular focus on the social, affective, and political dimensions of technology. Her artistic practice is characterized by interdisciplinary collaborations with experts in different fields of science and manifests itself in hybrid artistic expressions combining digital media and physical interfaces.

Her work has been presented at international art and technology festivals, such as FILE (Brazil), ISEA (Canada), Arte Laguna and Toolkit (Italy), ADAF (Greece), Gwangju Media Arts Festival (South Korea), and Transitio_MX (Mexico), among others. In addition, her installations have been exhibited in galleries and museums in the United States, Germany, Spain, Canada, and Bulgaria. She has been part of artistic residencies in Germany, South Korea and Mexico City.
