Operator
Ania Catherine and Dejha Ti are an award-winning experiential artist duo whose collaborative art practice, known as Operator, was founded in 2016. Operator collides their talents into large-scale conceptual works with a signature, poetic approach to technology, earning them Lumen Prize twice, lectures at University of Cambridge, and main stage presentations at Art Basel. Referred to as “the two critical contemporary voices on digital art’s international stages” (Clot Magazine) the duo created a method for choreography to become collectable using blockchain and works at the forefront of global conversation around performance and technology.
For their most recent work Human Unreadable, they created an on-chain generative choreography method. Operator has been awarded The Lumen Prize (Generative Art in 2023, Immersive Environments in 2021) ADC Awards (Gold Cube), S+T+ARTS Prize (Honorary Mention), and MediaFutures. They have spoken at events and institutions including University of Cambridge, Christie's Art+Tech Summit, Art Basel, ZKM, Francisco Carolinum Museum, Bloomberg ART+TECHNOLOGY, and MIT Open Doc Lab. Originally from Los Angeles and currently based in Madrid, Spain.
