About
Trisha Gianakis is known for creating immersive art experiences that combine physical art with digital art. With a Master's in Computer Art Installation, Trisha's art practice is deeply rooted in technology intersecting the realm of extended realities (XR). The artist delves into the intricate relationships with challenging aspects of the survival of cancer, and rising above with inner strength. Her commitment extends further to merging physical art with artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), 3D/2D animations, video, and virtual reality (VR). From 2022-2024 completed a two-year artist-in-residence program as an immersive artist at BronxNet TV and is currently an art professor at Saint Peter's University.
Trish Gianakis is excited to present her latest innovation: Her Digital Art as a Wearable Bag®! The stylish, unisex bag that merges art, technology, and functionality. A waterproof accessory with animations on a built-in LED screen. It’s more than fashion; it’s a declaration of the passion for art and innovation.

"Xnij" Jinx spelled backwards, the jokes on US - Raku Ceramic, paper, plaster cast, dried sage
“Unconscious Bliss” Raku sculpture Mounted in an antique distressed wooden box. The body’s positioned in ecstasy, veins protruding through the skin, blood flow and energy, confined in a moment within the box.
