Tiffany Smith (born 1988 in Los Angeles, CA) is a media artist and educator whose work examines the fragility of contemporary life in America through video, installation, and interactive fiction. She investigates hyperreality and the collapse of real and simulated worlds, often merging digital and physical elements to evoke fantasy, entropy, and agency. By constructing shifting fictional environments, she focuses on how we cope, adapt, and make meaning in mediated, unstable realities.

Smith’s work has been exhibited across the United States. She was recently included in exhibitions at Easyside (Dallas), Ivester Contemporary, the Museum of Human Achievement, The Wrong Biennale, Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts (Lubbock), and the Wende Museum (Los Angeles). In 2023, her personal experience and work addressing school gun violence was featured in a national campaign by Teachers Unify to End Gun Violence, an organization founded by teachers who survived the mass shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

In 2024, Smith curated New Suns—an interactive multimedia exhibition of 13 Austin artists exploring speculative fiction and worldbuilding—at Goodluckhavefun, and co-curated the summer group show Infinite Scroll at Ivester Contemporary. 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.
