Katie Hofstadter is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and curator whose work investigates the complex relationships between embodiment, consciousness, and technologically mediated imagination. Through her diverse practice, she explores the dynamics between knowing and feeling, and examines how emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, shape both cultural narratives and direct experience.
Her work is exhibited internationally at galleries, museums, festivals, and public institutions, including Tribeca Film Festival, British Film Festival, Outernet London x Gazelli Art House, Xtopia Immersive, the Digital Body Festival, Taikang Art Museum, and Jacob’s Pillow.
Her contributions to public art and social discourse include several international art campaigns. She is a co-founder of the ARORA network, bringing together over 70 artists creating new AR monuments to diverse female and gender-expansive voices in public spaces; as well as the Climate Clock monument NYC, a global call to #actintime on the climate crisis. Future Art Models, an experiment in prefigurative imagination commissioned by apexart, guides young creatives to design alternative professional models in the arts.
Her art and public projects have been covered by major media outlets such as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The San Diego Union-Tribune, The Washington Post, and Smithsonian Magazine. Her essays and interviews appear in leading arts and literary publications including Flash Art, The Believer, BOMB, The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, and Right Click Save; and her writing has been transformed into curated exhibitions at EPOCH.GALLERY, Vellum/LA, and Cal Poly + The Center for Expressive Technologies, demonstrating the dynamic interplay between her theoretical work and curatorial practice.
In 2024 she co-founded Superradiance Lab with her partner Memo Akten to further their investigations into the nature of consciousness, intelligence, and planetary systems through research-based art that bridges embodied experience with emerging technologies.
For ten years, she taught at Parsons, The New School, and F.I.T.
