Amay Kataria

Amay Kataria (b. 1990) is a Chicago-based new media artist who uses video, sculpture, installation, and custom software to explore the tension between human existence and our fast-paced digital world. His work examines aspects of contemporary life—isolation versus connection, the impact of digital tools on human relationships, and a search for the present moment in an accelerating culture. Through his practice, he invites audiences to slow down and reflect on their own experiences of time, memory, and social bonds.
