Maddie Brucker is a multidisciplinary artist and PhD candidate in Computer Science and Learning Sciences at Northwestern. Her research aims to locate learning and critical possibility in the relational endeavors of artistic production and artists’ community-making. She uses ethnographic methods to study how artists learn and develop new tools and techniques while simultaneously building community structures that exist outside of, and often in opposition to, formal institutions. As a self-taught trans artist, she brings her own unique perspectives on critical technological and artistic practice to the spaces she participates in.
