Tiffany Holmes is a multimedia artist whose practice blends traditional materials and new media in large-scale interactive installations. Her work explores the relationship between digital technology and culture with an emphasis on technologies of seeing. Her recent work explores the movement of both human and animal bodies and the visual languages from different disciplines used to capture that movement. She exhibits widely in international and national venues, including the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the Interaction '01 biennial in Japan, ISEA, SIGGRAPH 2000, World@rt in Denmark, Digital Salon ’99 in New York and Madrid, and the Viper media festival in Switzerland. She writes about her work and research and lectures in venues as diverse as the International Symposium on the History of Neuroscience in Zurich, Siggraph ’99, Next 1.0 in Sweden, and the Computer Games, Digital Culture conference in Finland.

With a diverse academic background in painting, animation, and biology, Holmes situates her work at the intersection between artistic, biomedical, and linguistic modes of bodily representation. To promote her interdisciplinary artistic practice, the Society of Fellows at the University of Michigan awarded Holmes a prestigious three-year fellowship. With a BA in art history from Williams College, Holmes received a MFA in painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art and an MFA in digital arts from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Art and Technology at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she teaches courses in interactivity and the history and theory of electronic media.
