Kate Geck
Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung Country
Naarm/Melbourne, VIC
Kate Geck is a digital artist working with textiles, animation, machine learning, augmented reality and the internet.
Her practice tends to the connections between humans and technology, exploring ways to materialise the digital. Invoking the language of the Internet, her aesthetic critiques a hyper mediated age, creating sites of respite and resistance that think through alternative agendas for networked technologies. Her recent work explores what she calls a ‘textillic’ approach to creative practice with machine learning. This uses textile language and practices to examine how interconnection, materiality and shared agency might become foregrounded in exchanges between human and machine intelligences.
She has exhibited in Australia and abroad including major commissions and funding from a range of organisations. She is a lecturer in the Bachelor of Interior Design at RMIT University, where she co-directs the Wearable + Sensing Network.
Kate lives on unceded Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung land in Narrm Australia.
