Meghan Elizabeth Trainor is a Seattle-based artist, writer, lecturer, and performer. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally from Seattle and New York, to Copenhagen and Barcelona. Her most recent solo exhibition was Let Us Not Confuse Zero With The Stillness Of Electrons at Center On Contemporary Art (COCA). She has been featured in Goodwitch/Badwitch at Museum of Museums; the Frye Art Museum's interview series, Virtual Visits hosted by Negarra A. Kudumu; and as a guest on Critical Bound Podcast's series Art, AI, and Technology. She completed her Masters at Tisch School of the Arts/New York University; and has been an artist-in-residence at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, the Digital Performance Institute, and the Janie & James Washington Foundation.
Trainor's practice centers her scholarship in the throughlines between computer science, technology, and esoterica. She frames this through storytelling around bogs, hedgewitchery and digital witchcraft, and the use and histories of electronics and electricity. The range of her storytelling includes everything from essays on speculative histories and logic gates to spoken word pieces and cunningly worded memes and graphic imagery.
