I was born in Los Angeles in the late 1990s to Hungarian Immigrant to the united states- an architect by the name of Szabó Gyöngyi and to the underground metal icon known as Scoonie Gee, and raised between the hills of Mt. Washington and the medieval streets of Hungary. My life has always unfolded at the intersection of design, protest, pedagogy, and play- old, and new cities and digital annd physical frontiers. Shaped by the layered cultures of L.A.—from community gardens and classrooms to late nights at DIY warehouse shows and alsoo inside my vr headsets—I've grown into someone who sees infrastructure and aesthetics, technology and community- as deeply linked. I move through the city as both caretaker and connector, collaborating on sustainability projects, stewarding chosen family, and building bridges across activist, queer, and tech-forward communities. Online, I use the internet not to escape but to extend: remixing archives, distributing resources, and sustaining bonds across borders. With advanced study in integrated design, business, and technology, I bring a grounded yet imaginative approach to collective survival—whether I'm constructing my off-grid hillside home, traveling between worlds, making visuals for raves, guiding students, or participating in talks, gallery, and museum shows.
ℌ𝔘𝕹𝐓ℜ𝖊zZ 𝐉a𝕹o𝖘 is as much herself as she is the information being relayed to you now through this sequence of symbols. Existing in flux since quantum pre-history, in a future that has long since passed, she is one with a beyond inherent to all things- an organism of light-speed determination, weaving toward a distant Antarctic destiny through a circuitous path of digital synthesis. This path unfolds through animated video/game art, 3D-printed armor, Augmented Reality, sustainable architecture, and rhyme performance, alongside an expanding constellation of increasingly esoteric practices. Participating in the generation of AR/VR, new media installations, and poetic ritual is not a choice but a function of spirit- creation as involuntary as breath. Each work is not merely authored but received, channeled through this life and body as a gesture toward shared perception. Reality, Identity, Infinity: all flicker from a divine singularity, a zero that is still becoming, still glitching open. Janos emerges again and again from her various disguises to present afro-futurist media designed to delight, confound, and confront those of us entangled in this epoch. She does not simply make—she remembers, rewires, and replays timelines. Sharing in the exploration of diversity, innovation, and the spectral joy of now is, in her words, "a joyous thing! LOL."
