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.

"One highlight for me was the ongoing performance by artist Tiffany Trenda. She reproduced a classic old box camera at a very large scale. In fact, she did her performance inside the camera. The viewers looked in through the lens to watch her. And, it turned out, to watch themselves: she 'wore' a video-monitor headdress that displayed the viewer in real time, captured by a hidden camera. As viewer/participants moved, she mimicked their motions, much like an animatronic robot. The performance was funny, light and thought-provoking." - Online Photographer , Featured Comment by Stephen Gillette, January 12, 2009 for Photo LA 2009

"She demonstrates through her live performances that the human/machine interface has become an extension of the body, creating an equilibrium destructive to the organic form as more and more elements of our human existence are becoming simulated inorganically." - V.S.
