Tega Brain is an Australian-born digital artist and environmental engineer who is also an assistant professor of Integrated Digital Media at New York University (NYU).[1] Brain is known for her eccentric and often purposefully dysfunctional information systems that examine the intersection between digital networks and natural phenomena.[2][3] Her art works have been discussed widely in press outlets such as The New York Times, The Atlantic, Artforum, NPR and The Guardian.[1] Brain's works have been exhibited in multiple museums such as the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin.[3] In 2021, Brain co-authored the textbook Code as Creative Medium which serves as a guide for educators and computer scientists about teaching and learning computational art and design.[4]
Brain received a Bachelor of Environmental Engineering and a Bachelor of Arts at University of New South Wales in 2006.[1] She then completed a Masters of Art at the Queensland University of Technology in 2012.[1]
