Claudia Hart

Claudia Hart emerged as part of a generation of 90s intermedia artists in the “identity art” niche. She still examines issues of identity, now focusing on how technology effects cultural constructions of gender identities and issues of the body, perception, and nature collapsing into technology and then back again. At the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she developed a pedagogic program based on this concept — “Experimental 3D” — the first program dedicated solely to teaching simulations technologies in an art-world context. She lives in New York, is represented in the US by bitforms gallery, and is married to the Austrian media artist Kurt Hentschlager.
