Kelley
O’Leary is an interdisciplinary artist and educator based in
Richmond, CA. Working across imagemaking, sculpture, video, and
installation, she explores the relationships between networked technologies, cosmic matter, and the sacred. Her work is rooted in an inquiry into invisible systems, both technological and natural, that shape meaning making. Her research draws from a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary sources, integrating scientific, speculative, and mythological perspectives with sensory fieldwork and material inquiry. Through these methods, she seeks to better understand human existence within the hypermediated present as a fleeting point in the vast arc of human and geological time. Kelley
received her MFA from the University of California, Davis where she was awarded the Mary Lou Osborn Award and the LeShelle and Gary May Purchase Prize. She is co-curator of Living Room Light Exchange,
a new media art salon based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
