Jillian Mayer
Jillian Mayer (Miami) is a Cuban-American internationally recognized artist and filmmaker whose work explores how technology affects our identities, lives, and experiences via mediums such as videos, sculptures, online experiences, photography, and performances.
Mayer’s research has led her to post-future thoughts, how survivalists prepare for a disaster, and how the methods they pursue betray universal anxieties and fantasies around an unstable future.
Mayer’s work has been featured in Artforum, Art Papers, Art in America, ArtNews, The Huffington Post, and The New York Times with numerous showings and screenings at institutions MoMa PS1, MoMA, Pérez Art Museum, Kunsthall Aarhus, and Sundance Film Festival. She holds several fellowships and is an adjunct professor at the University of Nevada.
