Nicole Tanev (alias “Yogurt”)

Nicole Tanev is a multimedia artist interested in digital projects and interactive games. She was born in 2007 in Montreal, and currently resides on the North Shore. Child of Bulgarian immigrants, she holds a rich multicultural background that was essential in shaping her upbringing as a dual citizen.

Nicole is fascinated by art-based digital spaces. She is interested in delving into interdisciplinary fields by combining her love for creative storytelling with her passion for video game design, interactivity and humanity’s everchanging technologies. Online, she presents herself and publishes her work under the alias Yogurt.

At the heart of her work, she prioritizes human creativity. Highly opposed to the usage and development of Generative Artificial Intelligence, she believes in ethically combining digital technology with human artistry in order to underline the fundamental need for preserving and affirming man-made art as a vital facet of human civilization.
