About me
Sasha Stiles is a Kalmyk-American poet and artist whose work uses language to explore what it means to be human in a more-than-human age. A pioneering voice of the generative era, she advances poetic intelligence – the synthesis of emotion and algorithm – as a vital artistic medium of our time, and an enduring technology of memory and consciousness. Her multimodal practice traces a throughline from ancient traditions of orality and inscription to the technocultural landscape of the 21st century, where meaning increasingly emerges through code, complex networks, and hybrid imagination. Stiles’ work has been honored by the Prix Ars Electronica and Lumen Prize; featured in The New York Times, Poets & Writers, and Artforum; and exhibited internationally from MoMA to Gucci to Art Basel. She has been named a Monument Lab Fellow and Google Arts & Culture Artist in Residence and has served as Poetry Mentor to the humanoid BINA48 since 2018. A graduate of Harvard and Oxford and co-founder of theVERSEverse, she lives near New York with her husband and studio partner, Kris Bones.
