(Pilsen)
Kacie Lees (b. 1986 — St. Louis, Missouri, she/her) is a professor in Art & Technology Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an interdisciplinary artist working in video, neon, and print. Living and working out of New York and Chicago, Lees’ constellatory practice blurs studio experimentation with instructional design. She studies polychromatic smears (i.e. holograms, oil slicks, rainbows, aurora) and the poetic power of optics to gain immersive insight into the dynamics of working with light as a tactile medium.
