Born in Rabat, Morocco, Meriem Bennani moved to the United States to pursue her artistic education, eventually establishing her studio practice in New York City. Her work gained significant attention for its distinct visual language, which blends the aesthetics of social media, reality television, and experimental digital art to examine how technology shapes contemporary human experience.

Bennani’s practice centers on immersive video installations that often feature surreal, hyper-saturated imagery and character-driven narratives. She frequently employs techniques such as 3D animation and green-screen compositing to create layered environments that reflect on the complexities of diaspora, surveillance, and the fluidity of identity in a hyper-connected world.

Her work continues to be recognized within major institutional contexts, including her inclusion in the 2026 New Humans: Memories of the Future exhibition at the New Museum in New York. This participation underscores her ongoing engagement with the evolving relationship between technological advancement and the human condition.
