Operator

Ania Catherine and Dejha Ti are an artist duo whose collaborative practice, Operator, develops critical and conceptual approaches to experience. With Ti’s background as a multimedia artist and HCI technologist, and Catherine’s as a choreographer and performance artist, they engineer medium-agnostic output, joining environments, technology, and the body. Their exploration into privacy began with On View (2019), commissioned by SCAD Museum of Art, and continues with The Privacy Collection, a durational release exploring privacy and transparency in blockchain technology. Their latest work, Human Unreadable, introduces an on-chain generative choreography method.

Operator has received The Lumen Prize (Generative Art, 2023; Immersive Environments, 2021), ADC Gold Cube, S+T+ARTS Prize, and MediaFutures awards. They have spoken at University of Cambridge, Christie’s Art+Tech Summit, Art Basel, ZKM, Francisco Carolinum, Bloomberg ART+TECHNOLOGY, and MIT Open Doc Lab.
