Kathleen Brandt is an electronic media and installation artist whose work engages the assumed relationships we have with technology and technologically-mediated environments. Of her most recent installations, Exclusion Zone documents the Chernobyl nuclear plant explosion through the cultural and social representations of radioactive exposure, Maximum Security explores the construction of the maximum-security prisoner through the engineering of prison furnishings, and Prudent Avoidance – in conjunction with Brian Lonsway – critically examines the role that ‘scientific’ data plays in the construction of environmental risk.

Kathleen is also an instructor of media and installation art and Industrial Design and has taught at numerous universities, including Carleton University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, The State University of New York at Albany, and Siena College.
