Memo Akten & Katie Hofstadter
Visual Arts Residency

Memo Akten and Katie Hofstadter are Southern California based interdisciplinary artists and researchers, whose work investigates the entanglements of technology, embodiment, consciousness, and culture. Merging backgrounds in dance, writing, poetry, drawing, sculpture, computer science, artificial intelligence, computational art, and public practice, they create speculative simulations, data dramatizations, immersive installations, and narrative experiments that probe the human condition in an age of artificial intelligence and accelerating transformation.

Together, their collaborative research and practice explore how emerging technologies—particularly AI and data systems—interact with the embodied, emotional, and ecological dimensions of human experience.

This residency is organized in partnership with OceanX.
