Jawa El Khash

Jawa El Khash is an artist, technologist, and researcher whose painting, holography, virtual reality, and online simulations play on the poetics of the everyday nature of living in the world. Her replicas of reality blur the line between the invisible and the visible, the real and the simulated, the fictional and the fact. El Khash was mentored by artist Morehshin Allahyari for the program Lead Time at the Art Gallery of York University (2020). Her work was featured in the solo exhibition The Upper Side of the Sky at Interaccess (2020) and in group exhibitions at Gallery 44 (2021), Western Front (2021), Mutek (2020 and 2021) and 5th Istanbul Design Biennial (2020).

    Nature’s Algorithm

    Evergreen Brick Works, Young Centre
    Toggling between past, present, and future, Toronto-based artist Jawa El Khash’s project Nature’s Algorithm comes to life in two ways, exploring time, space, and memory through digitally generated holograms presented in an indoor installation, and in an online experience. Illustrating the mathematical algorithm underlying plant life, the works reveal past and present species existing on the grounds of the Evergreen Brick Works, imagining a diverse future ecosystem.
