Catherine Richards (born August 4, 1947) Catherine Richards is a Canadian visual artist who utilizes information technologies and electronic media, both antiquated and state-of-the-art, to create mixed media installations and performances. Through her practice, Richards investigates the boundaries of the human body and its volatility, especially as electromagnetic fields and networked technologies render these boundaries increasingly permeable and uncertain. Her work makes visible the invisible infrastructures that surround contemporary bodies, from wireless signals to high-voltage currents.

Contents

Richards is recognized internationally for her groundbreaking contributions to new media art, particularly her pioneering exploration of embodiment and the interfaces between technology and the human body. [1] Her work has been discussed by major theorists including N. Katherine Hayles and Frances Dyson, and featured in key surveys such as Art & Science Now (Thames & Hudson), edited by Stephen Wilson. [2] She has exhibited at prominent venues including the 2004 Sydney Biennale and the National Gallery of Canada. [3]

Her career has been distinguished by significant awards and fellowships. In 1993, the Canada Council for the Arts awarded her the Petro-Canada Award in Media Arts for Spectral Bodies (1991), recognizing it as an "outstanding and innovative use of new technologies in media arts." [3] From 2002 to 2005, she received the Artist in Residence for Research Fellowship (AIRes) at the National Research Council of Canada, where she collaborated extensively with scientists—a hallmark of her practice. Notably, in 1991, together with Nell Tenhaaf, Richards co-organized the Virtual Seminar and residency on the BIOAPPARATUS at the Banff Centre for the Arts, one of the first public art events in Canada to examine virtual realities and technological-biological interfaces. [4] [1]

Education

Born and raised in Ottawa, Catherine Richards earned a B.A. (Honours) in English from York University (1971) and B.A. (Honours) in Visual Arts from the University of Ottawa (1980). She was granted an equivalent of a doctorate pursuant to University of Ottawa Article 23.4.2.3 in 1997. [5] [6]

Practice

Richards' practice is rooted in Research Creation and collaborative projects that bring together interdisciplinary teams to investigate the human body in relation to science technology. She is concerned with agency and connection, immersion and isolation. In a world that increasingly insists on "plugging in," what might it mean to assert boundaries between the self and electromagnetic field humans are becoming increasingly entrained with. [3] Richards explores human emotions, as well, attempting to model the slippage between physiology and emotions in her work. [3]

Her practice is informed by her earliest influences in media theory, philosophies of technology, the technologized body early concepts of post-humanism. The philosophical grounding of her work is in the scholarship of Marshall McLuhan, Harold Innis, and George Grant. [5] [7] During her tenure with the Canadian Government she worked in various positions at the Canadian Radio and Television Commission, Federal Department of Communications, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, providing access to some of the earliest developments in computer graphics. [8] She also had access to the National Film Board of Canada, which was also transformative, under the leadership of Pierre Trudeau. Paul Virilio's writing on the philosophy of technology and aesthetics played an important role. [7]

Richards' also cites the historical Avant Garde as an important influence on her work. [5]

Notable Works

Curiosity Cabinet at the End of the Millennium

"Curiosity Cabinet at the End of the Millennium (1995) inverts the historical logic of the curiosity cabinet, transforming the viewing subject into the viewed object. Rather than containing fragments of the world as demonstration of imperial mastery, Richards' copper mesh cabinet contains the human participant, offering temporary sanctuary from the invisible electromagnetic spectrum that permeates contemporary existence. The participant climbs inside and closes the door, completing a circuit that transforms the cabinet into what Richards terms a "safe house,” a Faraday cage that conducts radio frequencies, microwaves, television signals, cellular transmissions, and other elements of the upper RF spectrum through its copper surfaces and into the earth via a thick braided ground wire. Inside this refuge, the participant becomes simultaneously protected and displayed: visible through the copper screening to outside viewers, yet electromagnetically isolated, unplugged from the perpetual bath of human-generated frequencies." [5]

Charged Hearts

"Charged Hearts (1997) consists of three principal types of objects: the central Terrella, two anatomically correct glass hearts, and an online game. The Terrella orb contains phosphorescent charged gases, alluding to the original use in the nineteenth century to replicate Aurora Borealis, while also simulating the earth’s magnetic poles. Within the Terrella is a cathode ray, the technological basis for television and computer screens. The pair of glass hearts glow within their bell jars (themselves classic vessels that allow observation), being electrically charged by the Terrella. For viewers to safely handle the hearts and lift them up, the organs are encased in glass and loosely tethered by a copper coil at their bases. Embracing the domes evokes changes in the Terrella and hearts, prompting pulsations in light intensity, as viewers become material participants in the electrical current. The fragile components elicit greater carefulness with proximity, paralleling human vulnerability to desire systems, affect, and intimacy. The glass hearts are charged both literally and figuratively; the human heart remains the symbolic seat of emotions and is also a very real electromagnetic field. The excited electrons flutter and pulse within the vacuum sealed hearts and activate changes in the Terrella. When touched, a shadowy heart appears in the phosphorescent gases." [5]
