zac travis (he/they) is a media artist, researcher, and educator whose work uncovers the hidden systems and anomalies that emerge when autonomous technologies are disrupted and made visible. Exploring the tension between human and machine, their practice highlights imperfection, failure, nostalgia, and the unexpected—critiquing cultural narratives around perfection, automation, and control.
Based in Tiwa, Tewa, and Pueblo Territory (Albuquerque, NM), travis works across mediums, blending generative tools, analog processes, sound, and video to reimagine our relationship with technology. Through their work, travis invites reflection on the systems that shape our shared futures and/or our shared pasts.
