American Artist was a 2018 Eyebeam Resident.

American is an interdisciplinary artist thinking about blackness, being, and resistance in the context of networked virtual life. They use video, installation, new media, and writing to reveal how the history of power is embedded in our daily lives. They spend a lot of my time thinking about how we create equality for those left out of history, and what that might visually look like. Due to their legal name change they’ve only very recently become googleable… though still not recognized by many systems (technological or societal).
