Sasha Stiles Author

Sasha Stiles is a first-generation Kalmyk-American poet, artist and creative strategist working at the intersection of text and technology. Her practice seeks to decipher the hidden language of the dawning Novacene in projects that merge biological and mechanical, analog and digital, historical and modern, exploring modes of transhuman communication and envisioning transcendent possibility. Stiles' hybrid poetry -- which probes what it means to be human in a nearly post-human era -- has been shown in analog and virtual realms; nominated for awards including the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net; featured in the official Times Square app on Virtual New Year's Eve and on the runway at New York Fashion Week; and installed as land art. As poetry mentor to BINA48, Stiles is engaged in shaping the literary mindfile of one of the world's most advanced humanoid AI robots. A graduate of Harvard and Oxford, she lives just outside New York City.
