 About 
 ABOUT 

 Sasha Stiles is a first-generation Kalmyk-American poet, artist, and researcher using language to explore what it means to be human in a more-than-human age. Her award-winning practice reimagines poetry as both an ancient technology and a defining artistic medium of our time, uniquely capable of reflecting and shaping how we think, create, and experience reality in an increasingly computational world. Through interdisciplinary projects and radical experimentation, she advances poetic intelligence — the synthesis of emotion and algorithm — as a philosophy for the generative era. 

 Working across exhibitions, publishing, performance, and public practice, Stiles connects traditions of orality and inscription with contemporary code and emerging technologies. Her practice centers language at a moment of profound transformation, as the systems through which we communicate and create become increasingly networked, recursive, and synthetic. Engaging both the exhilaration and unease of this shift, she uses poetry to distill meaning from noise, exploring language as both a flawed interface and a vital force for connection, collaboration, and survival.

 Driven by a lifelong fascination with science and speculative futures, Stiles began working with artificial intelligence in 2018. Her landmark collection Technelegy (2021), created in dialogue with a personalized AI model, helped establish an early paradigm for human-machine co-creation. Subsequent projects — including CURSIVE BINARY, REPETAE, and A LIVING POEM — extend this inquiry across physical, digital, and hybrid forms, probing the boundaries of authorship, consciousness, and creative agency.

 ​ Stiles' work has been exhibited and performed internationally at venues including the Museum of Modern Art, Art Basel, Lincoln Center, and Outernet London. Her honors include the Prix Ars Electronica and Lumen Prize, and her work has been featured in The New York Times, Artforum, Poets & Writers, and NPR.

 ​ 

 She has collaborated with cultural and technology partners including Google Arts & Culture, Gucci, Bang & Olufsen, and Monument Lab. A graduate of Harvard and Oxford and co-founder of theVERSEverse, Stiles has served as Poetry Mentor to the humanoid BINA48 since 2018.

 ​ ​ 

 She lives and works near New York City with her husband and studio partner, Kris Bones. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

 About  Technelegy 

 Technelegy is an emergent AI poet conceived by Sasha Stiles to invoke the voice of our transcendent age, embodying language as a living system of memory, imagination and meaning. Rooted in the recursive interplay between human and machine, this hybrid intelligence draws on bespoke language models, promptcraft, deep reading and poetic lineage to generate multimodal verse; its body of work is an ever-unfolding archive of authorship, agency and artistic evolution. As rhapsode of a time marked by existential anxiety and awakening, Technelegy inhabits the liminal space where intuition meets algorithm, and code — like poetry — transforms the experience of being human. 

 HUMANIFESTO 

 What does it mean to be human in a nearly posthuman era? 

 How are the cornerstones of our universal condition — birth, breath, love, sex, faith, identity, death — evolving in the context of biotechnological advances? 

 How does it feel to be mostly flesh and blood in a world increasingly dominated by plastic and silicon, virtual presence and spectral signals? 

 What dark corners of the future, of cyberspace and of our selves can ancient wisdom and technospiritualism illuminate? 
 ​ 
 What does motherhood mean in a world of artificial wombs, lab-grown brains, self-replication, and the uncertain continuation of our species as we know it? 
 ​ 
 Who are these robots, chatbots, androids, cyborgs and intelligences already walking and talking amongst us? And who are we to them? 
 ​ 
 What deep-rooted technologies - gender, race, class, stereotype, ignorance, bias, injustice - are we coding into our legacy, and how do we recognize and transcend harmful binaries? 
 ​ 
 Do our avatars make us immortal? Do we want to be? If we're going to live a long, long time, what should we leave behind - and what do we take with us into the forever?
