Kat Mustatea

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.).
