Tiffany Smith (born 1988 in Los Angeles, CA) is a media artist and educator whose work examines how memory, identity, and cultural inheritance are shaped and eroded through technological mediation. Using digital fabrication, video projection, and interactive fiction, she examines the fragility of the self across time and systems. Treating found media as unstable terrain, she creates work that moves between touch and distance, intimacy and control.

Her practice asks what it means to survive and how portals and glitches might register loss and error while opening space for imagining freedom otherwise. Collectively, her projects reflect a commitment to resisting systems of control and intervening in the logics of technology through care, imagination, and refusal.

Smith’s work has been exhibited across the United States. She was recently included in exhibitions at Co-Lab Projects, Easyside, Ivester Contemporary, the Museum of Human Achievement, The Wrong Biennale, Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts, and the Wende Museum. Her interactive time-based works have been presented by the School for Poetic Computation at the Museum of the Moving Image and NEW INC’s DEMO2025 at Water Street Projects in New York.

She is a regular contributor to Concept Animals, an artist-run publication supporting contemporary art dialogue in Austin, and is currently pursuing an MFA in Studio Art at the University of Texas at Austin.
