Tega Brain
About
Tega Brain is an Australian-born digital artist and environmental engineer who is also an Assistant Professor of Integrated Digital Media at New York University (NYU). Brain is known for her eccentric and often purposefully dysfunctional information systems which examine the intersection between digital networks and natural phenomena. Her art works have been discussed widely in press outlets such as The New York Times, The Atlantic, Artforum, NPR and The Guardian. Brain's works have been exhibited in multiple museums such as the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin. In 2021, Brain co-authored the textbook Code as Creative Medium which serves as a guide to both art educators and computer scientists, to teach and learn about computational art and design.
