Anne Spalter is a leading mixed media digital artist whose work explores the dynamic interplay between the natural world and today’s modern landscape. Her pieces often depict scenes that have been transformed by some catastrophic event, or are infused with a sense of foreboding.

Her work reflects her struggles as a solitary child, often lost in daydreams, struggling to connect with the people and world around her. She longed for escape from the mundanity of everyday life, and found solace in science fiction stories that transported her to other worlds.

Futuristic books and movies inspired her interest in science and led her to study mathematics. Her art has become an avenue of expression for her deep-seated desire for adventure, a meditation on the fleeting nature of time, and an effort to find beauty in the often evocative forms of the modern technological landscape.

Spalter has been actively working in digital art for decades; she established the first digital fine arts courses at Brown University and RISD during the 90s, and wrote the internationally used textbook, The Computer in the Visual Arts. Together with Michael Spalter she oversees Spalter Digital, one of the largest private collections of early computer art.

This past year she was part of MASS MoCA’s alumni residency; named as one of the 50 most important crypto artists by Rizzoli; participated in the SPRING/BREAK Art Show NYC and the CADAF Art Fair (Nov 11-13); and released RABBIT TAKEOVER, an NFT project that sold out in under five minutes. Her NFT video piece The Bell Machine was acquired by the Buffalo AKG Museum in December 2022.

Spalter’s works can be found in many private collections and museums such as The Victoria and Albert, The AKG Buffalo Art Museum, The RISD Museum, and The Museum of CryptoArt, Flamingo DAO, the Thoma Collection, and the Progressive Collection. Her NFTs have been sold at auction through Sotheby’s and Phillips and featured in the New York Times. She lectures frequently on digital art practice, theory and the market.
