KATE ARMSTRONG

Kate Armstrong (1971) is a Vancouver-based writer, artist, and curator who has dedicated two decades to exploring the nexus of art and technology. Armstrong examines how computational methods, such as generative systems for text and image production, can reflect contemporary digital culture and push the boundaries of narrative, world-building, and form. Her work spans AI image-making, generative text and image systems, speculative fiction, blockchain text-poetry, video, dynamic graphic novels, and location-aware fiction, among other conceptually driven hybrid forms.

She has exhibited her work internationally at the Contemporary Art Centre (Vilnius, Lithuania), Psy-Geo-Conflux (New York), and Akbank Sanat (Istanbul, Turkey), and was included in DREAMLANDS: IMMERSIVE CINEMA AND ART 1905–2016 at the Whitney Museum.

Armstrong’s artworks are held in collections including Rhizome, the Rose Goldsen Archive at Cornell University, and the Library of the Printed Web. She was part of POEME OBJKT SUBJKT, curated by theVERSEverse for L’Avant Gallerie Vossen in Paris, which was shortlisted for the 2023 Lumen Prize in Crypto Art.

Armstrong is a frequent collaborator with Michael Tippett.
