Ninajirachi and the Computer as Collaborator

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Ninajirachi’s I Love My Computer is dedicated to her computer. Not in the throwaway way artists thank their gear — she calls it “the greatest collaborator I’ll know in this lifetime.” That’s not a metaphor about laptops. That’s a statement about what it means to make art with a machine that has watched you become yourself.

The album opens with the thesis: anything is possible with fingers, eyes, a mouse and a screen. Four tools. That’s the whole studio.
