Biography: Krista Caballero, associate director of the Center for Experimental Humanities, is an interdisciplinary artist exploring issues of agency, survival, and environmental change in a more-than-human world. Moving freely between traditional and emerging media, her work creates situations for encountering alternative ecological and social landscapes. In 2010 she created Mapping Meaning, an ongoing project that brings together artists, scientists, and scholars through experimental workshops, exhibitions, and transdisciplinary research.

She has been awarded residencies at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, among others and exhibited nationally and internationally in exhibitions, festivals as well as venues outside the usual art context. Some of these include: the International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA); the North American Ornithological Conference; RAY2018 Photo Triennale in Germany; Kunsthall Trondheim in Norway; and the Association for Computers and the Humanities.
