Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKaren Donnachie is an award-winning electronic artist, designer and academic with over a decade of experience synthesising art, computation and publishing across physical computing, robotics, generative code and typographic practice. As co-founder of the Center for Computational Unknowing and founder of Atomic Activity Books and This is a Magazine, she bridges speculative scholarship—anchored by a PhD in Electronic Art—with hands-on creative production and experimental publishing. A decorated practitioner (including multiple Tokyo Type Directors Club and Robert Coover awards), she teaches interactive media and generative design while leading collaborative studio commissions that have spanned Milan and Melbourne. Her research into nonhuman agency, platformism and the photographic self informs both immersive artworks and data-visualisation projects, revealing narrative and identity in networked systems. Notably, she sustains a long-running creative duo practice (Karen + Andy) and independent publishing imprint, blending commercial fashion imagery with avant-garde machinic writing and artists’ books.
