Previously, she was a Year 9 member of NEW INC’s Art and Code Track and a resident at CultureHub NYC. Her work has been shared at Public Works Administration, New York, NY; Dunkunsthalle, New York, NY; Iridian Gallery, Richmond, VA; and on the internet at https://jackieis.online/.

My creative practice returns to my early experiences growing up alongside the 2000s internet and takes shape as experimental, interactive narrative work that blends websites, interface design, comics, and games. I’m interested in nostalgia as a forward-thinking practice–not as a means to recreate the past but as a space for intervention, getting closer to what we yearn for, and refiguring the future. Often autobiographical, my work remembers and reimagines technology as a way to experiment with new ways of relating–with myself, with others, and with technology systems.
