DJ AJ Marr
Andrew Marr, also known as DJ AJ Marr
Lydia Yakonowsky is a Canadian artist based in Montreal. An economist by training, their artistic approach involves subverting statistical visual language to question the notion of utility, a central principle of classical economic thought. Where data, points, curves, and forecasting models are designed to illustrate and predict the behavior of market actors, they choose to strip them of this utilitarian function to transform them into deliberately «useless» artistic objects.
Her immersive works have been presented internationally, notably at SATFest and Mutek (Montreal), the Istanbul Digital Art Festival 2025, Kanvas Gallery (Dubai), Fotonica Festival (Rome), Future Vision Lab (Taipei), the International Festival of Science Visualization (Tokyo), Forum des images (Paris), Film Gate (Miami), and the Shanghai International Film Festival.
In parallel to her artistic practice, she also performs as a VJ under the pseudonym Kaminska. She regularly performs at the Satosphere stage of the Society for Technological Arts, at Igloofest, and at MUTEK.
