Jillian Mayer

Jillian Mayer is an artist and filmmaker living in Miami, Florida.

Through videos, sculptures, online experiences, photography, performances, and installations, she explores how technology affects our lives, bodies, and identities. Mayer investigates the points of tension between our online and physicals worlds and makes work that attempts to inhabit the increasingly porous boundary between the two.

Mayer’s work has been featured in Artforum, Art Papers, Art in America, ArtNews, The Huffington Post, and The New York Times. Mayer is a recipient of the Creative Capital Fellowship, South Florida Cultural Consortium Visual/Media Artists Fellowship, Cintas Foundation Fellowship for Cuban Artists, and was named one of the “25 New Faces of Independent Film” by Filmmaker Magazine.

Mayer’s films have screened at festivals including Sundance, SXSW, Rottenberg, and the New York Film Festival.
