This is a well written article about my work. Enjoy!
It's narcissism of sorts, with a wink, a nudge and a nod to technology. Rigged with cameras and video screens, Trenda creates odd-sometimes eerie-personalities and characters during her live performances that leave children entranced and some grownups more than just a little creeped out... What she does exactly is tough to describe, and must be seen to be appreciated. But even then, it's still difficult to define, and that's its beauty.

Tiffany Trenda Documented
WARNING: Please ignore all emails from trendadoc@gmail.com or any other email that is NOT tiffany@tiffanytrenda.com.
Unfortunately, this may or may not be a disturbed individual that is stalking and impersonating Trenda over the internet.
Tiffany Trenda's first short film, "Body Study 1" premiered at LACMA's Young Directors Night's reception at the A & D Museum for LACMA's Young Directors Night. Victor Solomon was a collaborator on this project along with Joseph Bishara who designed the amazing music. Elayssa was the dancer in the video and John Barzeley was the videographer. Thank you for the wonderful people involved.

Young Directors Night 03/05/11 The Tenth Annual Young Directors Night highlights the emerging talent of Los Angeles' film community. A celebration of film and the art of cinema, the showcase features 6 to 8 short films screened in the unique setting of an art museum followed by a conversation between the featured directors and the host panel. Reception follows the screenings.
Tiffany Trenda is a video installation performance artist based out of Malibu, CA. She received her BFA from Art Center College of Design. She has exhibited at Robert Berman, Farmani Gallery, Photo San Francisco, Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, Korean Cultural Center, Highways, and Track 16. In 2009, she created an artist installation for Photo Los Angeles and performed live. Later that year she performed “Entropy” at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Trenda won the prize of The Artist of the Year at the London Creative Awards in 2008 and 2009. Recently, she performed at the World Fair, Shanghai, China.
Her process is to take technology (LCDs, video projectors, cameras, etc.) and create a digital environment with an embodied performance that simulates the human psyche. Her work is an investigation of how we are defined and redefined through the integration of technology. Trenda amalgamates LCD screens and her body making her identity interchangeable. In retrospect, the viewer associates the screen as being human. She questions how far can this loss of the human body be substituted until it loses all human connectivity. In Trenda’s work the viewer is physically and visually immersed in how the psyche evolves to relate and survive with the machine. She states that we are not only dealing with issues of machine-implemented bodies but our identities and human connection is through a screen. This will change how we see others and ourselves with the assemblage of new technology. This disconnection is a result of our desire for a total state of pure sensualism.
