Janna received their MFA in Electronic and Time-Based Art from Purdue University in 2019 and is currently an Assistant Professor of Art as well as a member of the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies Council at the University of Southern Maine. Born to a working-class family in Northern Indiana, their work follows themes of labor, the internet, politics, and gender. Their latest fascination post-pandemic is contemplating ways the internet and machine learning are shaping death and dying rituals and mourning culture.
