About the artist(s)
Dakota Gearhart is an artist and educator based in Queens, NY. Her work is rooted in video yet spans performance, sound, text, sculpture, collage, and room-sized multimedia installations. She uses found materials she collects at places like microbiology labs, spam folders, and industrial dumps. She bundles together her interests in perception, biology, queerness, the role of technology and intimacy, humor, and the importance of world-building to articulate more creative and less oppressive futures.
