American Artist (born 1989) is a contemporary artist working in new media, video, installation and writing.[1] They legally changed their name to American Artist in 2013, in order to re-contextualize the definition of the term "American artist"—at once taking on the name of an anonymous term while becoming the embodiment of its meaning.[2][3] Their work, in Artist's words, focuses on themes surrounding "blackness, being, and resistance in the context of networked virtual life."[4]
