About Lisa Jamhoury
Lisa Jamhoury is a Lebanese-American artist working across live performance, installation, and physical media. She creates and directs cinematically rich, embodied experiences that recenter human agency in the digital age.Drawing from a background in contemporary circus, somatics, and experience design, Lisa brings embodied intelligence to her work as a software programmer. She moves fluidly across platforms, code bases, and tools — treating technology itself as choreographic material. A specialist in motion capture from high-end studio systems to low-cost experimental tools, she translates the nuance of human movement into responsive digital environments where bodies and machines converse.Lisa is currently an Interdisciplinary Fellow with the Royal Shakespeare Company and artist in residence with EY Intelligent Realities Lab and APOSSIBLE. She is a member of Onassis ONX and NEW INC, the New Museum’s incubator for art, design and technology. Her performance Maquette was a finalist for the 2025 Lumen Prize in Performance and Music, and her sculptural installation loss·y will premiere in 2026. Lisa’s work has been recognized by Ars Electronica, IDFA DocLab, The Lumen Prize, Meta Open Arts, Google xStory, Conference on Movement and Computing, and more.Lisa speaks regularly on human agency, the ethics of human-machine interaction, somatic intelligence, and the future of embodied creativity in live performance and digital art. She teaches at NYU\'s Interactive Telecommunications Program, where she completed her master’s, and previously worked at Adobe integrating AI/ML into creative tools.
