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. Cover of Malibu Times Malibu Life, Written by Patrick Timothy Mullikin "She's the Surreal Thing" August 26, 2009

"LACDA artist Tiffany Trenda performed her spellbinding work at Los Angeles County Museum of Art just a few months back. She has been exhibiting extensively; her career is really taking off! This incredible work will be performed at DigitalArt.LA., August 13-15." - Rex Bruce of LACDA

"Malibu-based artist Tiffany Trenda lights up the scene at photo la." - Kim Devore Cover of Malibu Times Malibu Life, February 19, 2009.

"Performance artist Tiffany Trenda fascinated attendees with her live reflective video performance from inside a life-sized Kodak Brownie Box camera. As spectators peered into the camera lens, their movements were reflected back to them on a TV monitor that was positioned on the shoulders of Trenda. The performance was intended to simulate the human psyche inside the digital world." Random Notes on photo la 2009 by Jean Ferro, Director of Women In Photography International, February 15, 2009.

"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

There are some notable exceptions however, including a piece of performance art, where the artist,Tiffany Trenda, has placed herself inside of a box camera, and the viewer is invited to peer into the lens, where they’ll be greeted with another camera-head and a monitor showing their face." - Photo Induced for Photo LA 2009

"Malibu hosts an aesthetic Final Frontier at The Museum of Hyperreal Art. MOHA's second annual art exhibition aptly titled Not Seen and/or Less Seen, where artists Launa Bacon, Tiffany Trenda, and Lisa Wiscombe showcase works with a Dadaist theme, with Trenda tending toward the mechanistic..." - Nathan Solis “7 days in L.A.” for LA City Beat October 2 – 8, 2008.  Vol 6 No 40

“Trenda is a looking glass into the future where machine lives beyond man’s existence.”  -Kriss Perras Running Waters, “Hyperreal Art – The Rise of the Technocrat and Simulacrum, Malibu Arts Review Magazine 2007

"Tiffany Trenda, a hot Malibu-based performance and digital media artist, will also perform.  –Stephanie Ocampo of LA.com TarFest 2007

"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. Magni The Museum of Hyperreal Art 2007

“Tiffany, evidently a star in the making.”  U2.com Vertigo Tour 2006

“Another cool roster of hot shorts for cool night, old faves interspersed with newbies keeping the performance-art flame alive with live pieces installed in the various rooms of Track 16’s yawning cavern including … a digital environment utilizing images of a moving elevator” created by Tiffany Trenda – Peter Frank LA Weekly  Nov. 17, 2005

“Artistic exploration in technology is evident by the “transgressive” – work that rejects existing art world formality-innovations in digital, animation and photography.  Film and video presentations are now projected in a gallery context as seen in the work by Tiffany Trenda.”  Luis De La Cruz “Impure Thoughts:  A Look at Interactive Art” 2004

“Among the 30 artists in the main exhibition are rising artist Tiffany Trenda”  - Ken White Reviewjournal.com of Las Vegas Review - Journal August 8, 2003
