About Katherine Parker,
Katherine Parker’s studio practice copes with the complexity of theories in cognitive science and artificial intelligence by utilizing distortion, plasticity of definition, and misinterpretation. Through an external perspective, Parker’s work investigates how the separate roles of the conscious body and the unconscious body influence individual perception and spatial interpretation. Her research is currently focused on how unconscious internal processes, such as digestion and muscle memory, affect an individual’s consciousness as well as how these processes relate to current models of computational thinking.
Parker’s most recent material explorations fuse multimedia installation and collaborative performance work with her twin and older sisters. The work builds a narrative around the sisters’ impossible, ridiculous, and devastating attempts to fabricate a collective being they call eka.gren.
Parker is a second year MFA candidate at the University of California- Santa Barbara. She earned her Bachelor's degree from the University of California- San Diego in 2015, double majoring in Visual Arts: Studio and Visual Arts: Theory, History, and Criticism.
