Behold Bentonville!
Congratulations to Nancy Baker Cahill, one of the outstanding artists featured in our upcoming exhibition, The SuperNatural 2.0, for receiving a prestigious 2026 USA Fellowship Award! You will have the opportunity to hear Baker Cahill discuss her artistic practice and the works included in our newest exhibition on Friday, February 13th at 21c Bentonville, 6-8PM. (Free admission!)
Nancy Baker Cahill is a transdisciplinary artist and expanded filmmaker whose work examines complex systems, with an emphasis on the relationship between consciousness, intelligence, and embodiment. Systems thinking is integral to her poetics; her concerns focus on power and its biopolitical impacts, particularly ecological and social harms.
Using a blend of analog and digital media, Baker Cahill creates immersive experiences, video installations, sculptures, and conceptual projects that engage the human sensorium and are rooted in drawing. Since 2018, she has been the Founder and Artistic Director of 4th Wall, a free, AR public art platform exploring resistance and inclusive (often participatory) creative expression, which she considers to be a form of social sculpture. Her monumental AR artworks build on the lineage of ecofeminist land art, often highlighting interdependence and the more-than-human. She takes a critical approach to all of the emerging technologies she uses, subverting convention to offer alternative imaginaries.
Baker Cahill has received the 2026 USA Fellowship Award, the 2025 Full Dome Festival’s Janus Award for Best Feature Film, the 2024 Infinity Festival’s Monolith Award for New Media Fine Art, the 2022 LACMA Art +Tech Grant, a 2022 C.O.L.A. Master Artist Fellowship, and the 2021 Williams College Bicentennial Medal of Honor. She is a former Berggruen Institute Artist Fellow, is an Affiliate at the Harvard Harvard metaLAB, and a TEDx speaker. In 2026, She will be an Artist Fellow at the Weibel Institute for Digital Cultures in Vienna.
