Hello, I'm Shakti Mb.

I'm interested in human behavior, especially behaviors that reveal something psychologically strange or tender about us.
+
For the past few years, I've been lurking in the margins of the internet where people make AI bots together.
If you want to be a voyeur in these spaces with me, sign up for a screening of my film.
This work has been supported by Rhizome, Mozilla, NEW INC, and Emergent Ventures.
To me, films and software feel similar : ways of projecting ourselves onto whatever screen is available.

I run Two Shiny Coins, a small studio for experimental work.
I help run Alcove Cinema with some friends. We host monthly screenings at the Brooklyn Peace Center.
