Official Biography

<aside> <img src="/icons/circle-alternate_gray.svg" alt="/icons/circle-alternate_gray.svg" width="40px" /> Ania Catherine (b. 1990, US) and Dejha Ti (b. 1985, US) 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 began with their performance installation On View (2019), commissioned by 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. For their most recent work Human Unreadable, they created a revolutionary on-chain generative choreography method allowing performance art to be collected.

Operator has been awarded The Phillips X HOFA Digital Art Awards (Experiential in 2025), The SAVVY Award (2025), The Lumen Prize (Generative Art in 2023, Immersive Environments in 2021) ADC Awards (Gold Cube), S+T+ARTS Prize (Honorary Mention), and MediaFutures. They have spoken at events and institutions including University of Cambridge, Christie's Art+Tech Summit, Art Basel, ZKM, Francisco Carolinum Museum, Bloomberg ART+TECHNOLOGY, and MIT Open Doc Lab.
