Kayla Anderson participates in the art world as an interdisciplinary artist, a critical writer, a sometimes-curator, a precarious administrator, and an aspiring educator. Her visual practice is time-based, spanning video and interactive virtual environments, as well as performance, installation, and publication. Her work explores the ways that subjectivity shapes, and is shaped by, technology. Through art, she practices ways of being with the world: uncovering its curiosities and rubbing up against its contradictions. Her criticism approaches art as a testing ground for the development of new perceptions, ethics, and world views. Growing up under the influence of US working-class capitalism, she values art as an arena for non-strategic modes of thinking, feeling, and communing with others. Her work has been shown at Currents International New Media Festival (Santa Fe), the Australian Centre for the Moving Image ART+FILM Festival (Melbourne), MELT: Festival of Queer Arts and Culture (Brisbane); HTMlles Festival (Montreal), Detroit Center for Contemporary Photography; Urban Institute for Contemporary Art (Grand Rapids), Grey Projects (Tiong Bahru), Nối Projects (Hanoi), as well as many artist run and itinerant spaces throughout the US. Her writing has been published by Leonardo Journal (MIT Press), Art & Education, Kunstlicht Journal (University of Amsterdam), Aperture Magazine, Temporary Art Review and others. She received an MFA from Northwestern University, a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and is a Visual Arts Fellow of the Luminarts Cultural Foundation.
