Zeno Gries (b. 1993, Berlin) is an artist and filmmaker whose work centers on film, video, and software, often extending into other forms of new media. They studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig and were a member of the Graduate School for Moving Image at the Kunsthochschule Kassel.

Zeno Gries adopts an open-ended, collaborative approach to artistic production, deliberately relinquishing control over certain aspects of the creative process. Their work frequently involves collaborations with scholars, actors, non-human agents, and artists from various disciplines. Through a performative surrender of power and authorship, they seek to challenge traditional, patriarchal models of directing and art-making.

Their film The Understudy has received multiple awards. Their current feature film project, I believe in death bots, is being developed with support from the Kuratorium junger deutscher Film as part of its Talent Film program. Recent residencies include St.A.i.R. (Styria-Artist-in-Residence) in Graz, Austria, and UmArts in Umeå, Sweden, where they worked as an artist researcher in residence.
