Kristin Lucas creates works about blurring the boundary between the body and technology, further complicated by issues of gender and the ties it has to the global economy. Kristen often investigates the uncanny and liminal spaces of our everyday interaction with technology in imaginative, circuitous works that lie somewhere between reality and “reality”.

“Imposing the Web’s parameters on the everyday, Lucas plumbs the precariousness of identity, both bodily and psychic, in the Internet age.”
Courtney Fiske, Art in America
“The new media artist’s concern is not mastery of the technology, but rather its demystification. Her results are often glitchy and imperfect.”
Wendy Vogel, Art in America
“Kitschy, gorgeous, and enigmatic, for this body of work Lucas sees flamingos everywhere, perhaps precisely because they are becoming evermore vulnerable to the consequences of climate change. This is a well-researched and playful flamboyance of works that, when taken together, gesture toward the deceptively simple yet deliciously complex insight made by anthropologist Anna Tsing that “human nature is an interspecies relationship”. Let the choir sing and honk their affirmations.”
Andy Campbell, Artforum
“This is the beauty of Lucas’ art. It is, like her, devoid of pretense. She lives in a world that is often obtuse, even off-limits. […] She is, on paper, an artist‘s artist.”
Christopher Trout
