Linda Dounia

Senegal

Linda Dounia is a Senegalese-Lebanese experimental artist, designer, writer, and curator who investigates the philosophical and environmental implications of techno-capitalism, and its role in perpetuating systems of inequity. Her practice is an active process for decolonizing her mind and untangling herself from the fragmented and exclusionary narratives associated with her identity, by imagining alternative realities and futures. Inspired by science fiction and speculative design, her work mediates alternative truths and excluded ways of being and doing. It is formed in the liminal space between the immaterial and the material through the combination of analogue and digital mediums – acrylic, ink, pastels, markers, scanners, vector, video, GANs, generative AI, code, and a range of materials not intended for art making.

Linda’s work on speculative archiving earned her a spot on the 2023 TIMEA100 list of the most influential people in AI. In 2024, she received Mozilla’s RISE25 award for her work in AI. Her work has been exhibited at Christie’s, Larsen Warner Gallery, Unit London, Art X Lagos, Partcours, Art Basel (Basel, Miami), The Dakar Biennale, Artsy NFT, Digital Art Fair Asia, and Art Dubai. Most recently, she was featured in prestigious events such as the 2025 AI Action Summit in Paris, Le Monde Selon l’IA exhibit at the Jeu de Paume, and Christie’s Augmented Intelligence auction.
