Kite (Oglala Lakota) is a featured artist in the upcoming Shelburne Museum exhibition, “Making A Noise: Indigenous Sound Art” (June 21 – October 26, 2025). Focusing on using Indigenous Research-Creation Methodologies, such as body-centered acts of knowledge making and Dream to Design methodologies, Kite‘s artworks engage with—and through—computational media.
In this virtual lecture, Kite will introduce her current artistic research, which uses dreaming methodologies to engage with Lakota worldviews and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. She will also address her development of body interfaces since 2013, her role in the Abundant Intelligences Research Program, her work in Human Computer Interaction, and her research of nonhuman ontologies and interiorities, first published in the groundbreaking 2018 article “Making Kin with the Machines,” which Kite co-authored with Jason Edward Lewis, Noelani Arist, and Archer Pechawis.
