Kat Mustatea is an artist whose experiments with language and live arts
stretch theater into the digital age. A playwright and technologist, she uses
metaphors of hybridity and transformation to craft live performances that
investigate absurdity, misunderstanding, and what it means to be American. Her TED
talk, about algorithms and puppetry, originates a new thesis about the meaning of
machines making art. She is a co-curator of EdgeCut, a live performance series that
explores our complex relationship to the digital, and a member of NEW INC, the art
and tech incubator at The New Museum of Art in New York City. She speaks frequently
about the cutting edge of art and technology (recently: SXSW, The Pompidou Center,
Ars Electronica, etc.).
