SHAWNÉ HOLLOWAY

SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY is a new media artist and poet. Known for her noisy experimental electronics and performance practice, HOLLOWAY shapes the rhetorics of computer programming and sadomasochism into tools for exposing structures of power. She has spoken and exhibited work internationally since 2012 in spaces like Performance Space New York, Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC), and the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf. SHAWNÉ is currently a co-director of netizen.org and an open source software contributor. At VCU, she often runs community media arts programming via her project THE P.A.T.C.H. CLINIC, where she leads research and development on #realtimeDIYMedia and arts criticism projects that result in free and accessible educational materials, exhibitions, and/or interdisciplinary coursework. Additionally, SHAWNÉ is 1/2 of the ambient sound project duo BONE LATTICE︎︎︎, is excited to release upcoming work in games, and is even more excited to currently be in residence at Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center for the 2026 season.
