Meet Operator (Ania Catherine and Dejha Ti)
Ania Catherine and Dejha Ti are an award-winning experiential artist duo who founded their collaborative practice, Operator, in 2016. Referred to as "the two critical contemporary voices on digital art's international stages" by Clot Magazine, their expertises colliding in large-scale conceptual works recognizable for their signature nuanced integration of technology.
Ti’s background as an immersive artist and human-computer interaction technologist, and Catherine’s as a choreographer and performance artist make for a uniquely medium non-allegiant output, bringing together environments, technology and the body. For their most recent work, Human Unreadable, the artists developed an on-chain generative choreography method.
Operator has been awarded The Lumen Prize (Immersive Environments), ADC Award (Gold Cube), S+T+ARTS Prize (Honorary Mention), and MediaFutures (EU Commission program). They’ve spoken and appeared in BBC Click, Bloomberg ART+TECHNOLOGY, Christie’s Art+Tech Summit, SCAD Museum of Art, Art Basel, MIT Open Doc Lab, HEK, Ars Electronica, ZKM, MEET Digital Culture Center, MoCDA, Universität für Angewandte Kunst (Vienna), Francisco Carolinum Museum, and CADAF. The duo are originally from LA and currently based in Madrid.
