Ania Catherine and Dejha Ti are an artist duo whose collaborative practice, Operator, develops critical and conceptual approaches to experience. With Ti’s background as a multimedia artist and HCI technologist, and Catherine’s as a choreographer and performance artist, they engineer medium-agnostic output, joining environments, technology, and the body. Their exploration into privacy and extractive technologies began with their performance installation, On View (2019), commissioned by the SCAD Museum of Art, and continues with the Privacy Collection, a durational release of works exploring the tension between privacy and transparency in blockchain technology.
Operator has been awarded by The Lumen Prize (Immersive Environments), The Lumen Prize (Generative Art Award), ADC Award (Gold Cube), S+T+ARTS Prize (Honorary Mention), and MediaFutures (a European Commission funded programme). They have spoken at events and institutions including Christie's Art+Tech Summit, University of Cambridge, Art Basel, ZKM, Francisco Carolinum Museum (Linz), SCAD Museum of Art, Bloomberg ART+TECHNOLOGY, and MIT Open Documentary Lab. In MoMA’s 2023 Postcard Project, Operator was included as one of the first 15 artists to launch the project to the public. Originally from Los Angeles and currently based in Madrid, Spain.
