Harris David Harris is a media artist whose work examines the political economies and personal practices surrounding emerging technologies, particularly in the contexts of neoliberalism and gay assimilation. Harris also draws on several years of performance as a drag queen—where as alter-ego Lil Miss Hot Mess, she has performed in venues ranging from gay bars to universities, SFMOMA to the streets of OccupySF—to extend that tradition’s critical aesthetics of irony, camp, and failure to new forms and questions. Harris holds an MFA in Digital Arts & New Media from UC Santa Cruz and a BA in Sociology/Anthropology and Film & Media Studies from Swarthmore College.
