Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)

• Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos
• 300 - 400 Employee

• Art + Tech Grant recipient

  • Jun 2022 - Present

  I am lucky to be one of four artists selected for the 2022 cohort of LACMA Art + Tech recipients. I will be creating a systems project called 'Substrate,' in which I examine the equitable distributive properties of mycelium networks, comparing them to current distributive technologies. The grant awards include monetary and in-kind support for projects that engage emerging technologies. LACMA issued the 2022 Request for Proposals in December 2021, and the museum received over 600 submissions. Selection criteria include artistic merit, opportunities for public engagement, and the suggested forms of data, methods, and/or models that might be of interest to other artists. Show less



4th Wall app

• Artists and Writers

• Founder, Director, Artist

  • Jan 2018 - Present

  Founded in early 2018, 4th Wall is a free, augmented reality (AR) public art platform exploring resistance and inclusive creative expression. My intention was to challenge traditional conventions of public art and introduce a participatory, immersive art experience. The app has since expanded to include geolocated AR land art, curated AR exhibitions, and collaborative projects with artists around the globe. 4th Wall is committed to conceptually rigorous artworks, and intends to prompt thoughtful discourse and activate ideas using the unique affordances of augmentation.

Nancy Baker Cahill Studio

• Los Angeles County, California, United States

• Artist, Director

  • Jan 2008 - Present

  Nancy Baker Cahill is an award-winning interdisciplinary artist whose hybrid practice focuses on systemic power, consciousness, and the human body. She creates research-based immersive experiences, video installations, and conceptual blockchain projects rooted in the history of drawing. Her monumental augmented reality (AR) artworks extend and subvert the lineage of land art, often highlighting the climate crisis, civics, and a desire for more equitable futures. She is the Founder and Artistic Director of 4th Wall, a free, AR public art platform exploring site interventions, resistance, and inclusive creative expression. Her geolocated AR installations have been exhibited globally and have earned her profiles in the New York Times, Frieze Magazine, and The Art Newspaper, among other publications, and she was included in ARTnews’ list of 2021 'Deciders'. Her work has been exhibited internationally at museums and galleries, and her solo exhibition ‘Slipstream: Table of Contents’ was recently acquired by LACMA. In 2023, she will have her first solo mid-career retrospective exhibition at the Georgia Museum of Art which will travel in 2024. In addition, The Whitney Museum has commissioned and will acquire an Artport video and AR installation, launching in the fall of 2023. Baker Cahill is an artist scholar alumnus of the Berggruen Institute, a 2021 resident at Oxy Arts’ ‘Encoding Futures’ focused on AR monuments, and a TEDx speaker. In 2021, she was awarded the Williams College Bicentennial Medal of Honor and received the C.O.L.A. Master Artist Fellowship. She is a 2022 LACMA Art and Tech Grant recipient and was the January 2023 Gazelli.O Resident Artist at Gazelli Art House in London. Show less

• Artist Fellow

  • Jan 2019 - Jan 2021

  Artist Fellow for the inaugural Transformations of the Human fellowship at the Berggruen Institute. Spent two year fellowship as an artist scholar. The Transformations of the Human program is designed as a philosophical study and artistic exploration of the manifold ways in which artificial intelligence and biotechnology challenge our established conceptions of what it means to be human. By placing philosophers and artists in key research sites to foster dialogue with technologists, the aim of the program is to render AI and Biotech visible as unusually potent experimental sites for reformulating our vocabulary for thinking about ourselves. The Transformations of the Human program ambition is to feed our findings back into the production of both artificial intelligence and biotech and to thereby contribute to both human and non-human flourishing.
