About the artist

Jenna Sutela works with words, sounds and other living media, such as Bacillus subtilis nattō bacteria and the “many-headed” slime mold Physarum polycephalum. Her audiovisual pieces, sculptures and performances seek to identify and react to precarious social and material moments, often in relation to technology. Sutela's work has been presented at museums and art contexts including Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, Moderna Museet and Serpentine Galleries. She is a Visiting Artist at The MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST) from 2019–2020.
