Heather Dewey-Hagborg is an information artist who is interested in exploring art as research
and public inquiry. Traversing diverse media ranging from algorithms to advertising, her work
seeks to question fundamental assumptions underpinning perceptions of human nature,
technology and the environment. Examining culture through the lens of information,
Heather creates situations embodying concepts, freed from the artist's hand.
Heather has displayed work at Third Ward, Galapagos, The Texas Firehouse Gallery, Fotofono,
The Gowanus Studio Space, and the Tisch School of the Arts in New York, Artist Television Access,
California College of the Arts and Dorkbot in San Francisco, Bennington College in Vermont, and
Sculpture Space and SUNYIT in Utica, NY.
Heather has received grants
from the Nathan Cummings Foundation and the Bennington Student
Endowment for the Arts. She received a National Science Foundation
award for the RESNA student design competition and ITP/TSOA as
well as Tisch Achievement Scholarships from New York University.
She has also been awarded artist residencies at the General Store
gallery in Elk Horn Iowa and Sculpture Space in Utica New York
where she was funded by the
National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the
Arts, and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.
Heather
has a BA in multimedia arts from Bennington College and a Masters
degree from the Interactive Telecommunications Program at Tisch
School of the Arts, New York University.
