Kate Durbin is an American, Los Angeles, California-based writer, digital and performance artist.[1] She is the author of several books of fiction and poetry including E! Entertainment, ABRA, The Ravenous Audience, and Hoarders.[2][3] Durbin's work primarily centers around popular culture and digital media, exploring the way the Internet, reality TV, and social media affect society and the human condition.[citation needed] She has called popular culture the subject matter of her work, as well as her artistic material.[4]

Of Durbin's writing, Christopher Higgs wrote for HTML Giant, "I call Kate Durbin one of the most compelling contemporary American writers because I feel like she's in her own lane. No one does what she does in the way that she does it."[5] For Write or Die Magazine, Ben Fama wrote: "Kate has a gift of prophecy—she sees things happening before other people do, and uses this extreme present as material for her work."[6]
