Nancy Baker Cahill is a transdisciplinary artist and expanded filmmaker with a research-based practice. Her work examines complex systems, with an emphasis on the relationship between consciousness, intelligence, and embodiment. Systems thinking plays an important role in her poetics; she is especially concerned with systemic power and its biopolitical impacts, particularly ecological and social harms.
Using a blend of analog and digital media, Baker Cahill creates immersive experiences, video installations, sculptures, and conceptual projects that engage the human sensorium and are rooted in drawing. Since 2018, she has been the Founder and Artistic Director of 4th Wall, a free, augmented reality (AR) public art platform exploring resistance and inclusive creative expression. Her monumental AR artworks build on the lineage of ecofeminist land art, often highlighting interdependence and the more-than-human. She takes a critical approach to all of the emerging technologies she uses, subverting convention to offer alternative imaginaries.
Her work has been profiled in publications including The Art Newspaper, Frieze, and The New York Times, among others. Her essays appear in The Los Angeles Review of Books, Nam June Paik Art Center Reader and October Magazine.
Baker Cahill is an artist scholar alumnus of the Berggruen Institute and a TEDx speaker. In 2021, she was awarded the Williams College Bicentennial Medal of Honor and a C.O.L.A. Master Artist Fellowship. She is a 2022 LACMA Art + Tech Grant recipient, winner of the 2024 Infinity Festival's Monolith Award for New Media Fine Art, and is an Affiliate of the Harvard metaLAB.
Her work is held in the collections of the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY; The Museum of Art and History, Lancaster, CA; RFC Art Collection, Miami, FL; and 0x Collection, Prague, CZ.
