Jennifer McCoy

1968–

Introduction

Jennifer and Kevin McCoy are an artistic duo and couple based in Brooklyn, NY. They work with interactive media, film, performance and installation to explore personal experience in relation to new technology, mass media, and global commerce. The McCoys are influenced by Lev Manovich and his theories on digital culture and their work often re-examines classic cinema, science fiction, or television through sculptural objects, net art, robotic movies or live performance. They were the recipients of the Creative Capital Award in the discipline of Emerging Fields in 2002 and the Guggenheim Fellowship in 2011. In 2014, Kevin collaborated with Anil Dash to co-create Monegraph, short for “monetized graphics.” The work "Quantum", was included in Sotheby's "Natively Digital: A Curated NFT Sale" in June 2021.
