Since her arrival in New York in the 1990s, Carla Gannis has been
exploring the language of the digital medium in physical and virtual works. Gannis
received an MFA in painting from Boston University and is faculty and assistant
chair of the Department of Digital Arts at Pratt Institute, New York. She has
engaged with the virtual domain by collaging threads of networked communication,
online art history, and speculative fiction to produce dark and often humorous
explorations of the human condition. Gannis’s work has appeared in numerous
exhibitions and screenings, nationally and internationally, including Lady Ava
Interface, Sunrise Sunset, Whitney Museum, NYC; Portraits in Landscape, Midnight
Moment, Times Square Arts, NYC; Until the End of the World, DAM Gallery, Berlin; A
Subject Self-Defined, TRANSFER Gallery, Brooklyn; and The Garden of Emoji Delights,
Hudson River Museum, Yonkers. Gannis’s speculative fiction has appeared in DEVOURING
THE GREEN:: fear of a human planet: a cyborg / eco poetry anthology, published by
Jaded Ibis Press (2015).
