Nancy Baker Cahill

Nancy Baker Cahill is a transdisciplinary artist and expanded filmmaker. Her work examines complex systems with an emphasis on the relationship between consciousness, intelligence, and embodiment, while systems thinking plays an important role in her poetics. She is especially concerned with systemic power and its biopolitical impacts, particularly ecological and social harms. Using a blend of analog and digital media, Baker Cahill creates immersive experiences, video installations, sculptures, and conceptual projects that engage the human sensorium and are rooted in drawing. Since 2018, she has been the Founder and Artistic Director of 4th Wall, a free, augmented reality (AR) public art platform exploring resistance and inclusive creative expression, and her monumental AR artworks build on the lineage of ecofeminist land art, often highlighting interdependence and the more-than-human. She takes a critical approach to the emerging technologies she uses, subverting convention to offer alternative imaginaries.
