Katherine Butcher (she/her) is an Australian visual artist living and working in Norway. She is a PhD candidate in Artistic Research at Norwegian University of Science and Technology, with joint supervision at the University of Technology Sydney. Her practice-based research explores how human datafication, likeness, AI/ML deepfakes, and synthetic representations intersect with questions of personhood, responsibility, and public trust. She is a member of COST Action CA23158 ARTinRARE (Artistic Intelligence: Responsiveness, Accessibility, Responsibility, Equity). Working across performance, relational aesthetics, and moving image, her projects examine the administration and governance of the face under algorithmic capitalism.
