mistranslated machines
“What values drove the production of the first speech and listening machines that paved the way for the technologies that are so enmeshed in our existence today?
The work in this exhibition poetically reimagines audio communication tools from the past. In these hand-built devices, mistranslation becomes a process for embedding these machines with alternative values and forms. They are an invitation to a speculative past, where both speaking and listening become acts of recognition that open us up to learn from a world outside of our singular, human one.”
“THE city talks” group exhibition
July 2023 | Online
“False Friends, Amigos Falsos” a part of TCT’s online gallery of projects.
”The City Talks (TCT) group focuses attention, energy, and love on the intersections of language, race, and culture in the urban landscape. We seek to grow a community of practice of linguists, humanists, urbanists, artists, designers, activists, and cartographers to nurture knowledge about the ways cultures express themselves with words in the built environment, their role in making places of meaning and belonging, and the negotiations for space and identity that take place between groups in the city.
The City Talks community and digital gallery is funded by a generous grant from the American Council of Learned Societies as part of their Digital Extension Grant Program.The ACLS grant supported collaboration between SLAB at the University of Southern California and digital humanities scholars at the University of Arizona.”

SOLO EXHIBITION @ Fried fruit gallery
March 2023 | UNC Wilmington, Cargo District
“Sense(s)” TWO-PERSON EXHIBITIOn at marshall university
October 10 - November 4, 2022 | Marshall University, WV
What does it mean to teach machines to see, hear, and speak? What gets lost in this process? What might be found?
Thrilled to share exhibition space with artist Christiana Caro as our work explores these questions.
“Caro was employed by Google to teach an intelligent camera about seeing. Lyle reimagines old technology designed to gather audio-sensory data and questions the logic within these systems. Both reflect on the interface of the body with technology to imagine forms that might allow us to uncover other ways of knowing.”

September 30 - October 2, 2022 | New Media Caucus “FUTURE BODIES” Symposium | Virginia Tech

Group EXHIBITION AT ICCCIA 9th INTERNATIONAL in Berlin
September 2022 | Berlin, Germany

Exquisite Corpus is an international collective of 10 women artists from across the globe, from San Francisco to London, to Helsinki, to Sydney.

Artists Cristin Millet and Cydnei Mallory are the co-founders of this wonderful group.
Presentation at the DIGITALLY ENGAGED LEARNING (DEL) CONFERENCE
September 2022 | Online
“Embodied Data: Experiential Approaches to Teaching Creative Coding”
A presentation asking: How can I bridge the gap between students with advanced technical skills and those learning them for the first time in an online space? Might incorporating the body when teaching traditionally ‘mind’ focused technical skills like coding create a shared point of entry? Could embodying these algorithmic concepts make the material more accessible to a wider range of learning styles?
My body/ my choice postcard exhibition at a.i.r. Gallery
July 2022 | Brooklyn, NY
A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to present My Body/My Choice, the 2022 edition of its annual Postcard Show. Each year, hundreds of artists come together to support A.I.R. by donating a postcard-sized work in any medium. Each original work is sold for $45 and all proceeds go to benefit A.I.R. and its mission to advance the work of women and non-binary artists. Months after A.I.R. first opened its doors in September 1972, the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Roe v. Wade established the right to an abortion without excessive government restriction. Just days before this exhibition's opening, that right was overturned. A.I.R.’s commitment to reproductive justice and bodily autonomy is long-standing. My Body/My Choice continues a legacy of artist-driven programs focused on the issue, including CHOICE (1992), CURRENTS: Abortion (2018), and most recently, Trigger Planting (2022) by How to Perform an Abortion, A.I.R. Gallery’s collaboration with National Women’s Liberation for Frieze New York 2022.
‘handling errors’ published in Virginia tech’s ‘the new river’ journal
Autumn 2021 Issue
Virginia Tech’s, “The New River: Journal on Digital Writing and Art”, will be publishing the audio files and installation images of my project, “Handling Errors”, in their Autumn 2021 Issue. The project translates coded error messages in programming languages into forms of spoken language between two people. Asking, what does it mean if computer languages aren’t able to fail? If they leave no room for misunderstandings or gaps in meaning that are so integral to human communication?
The new issue features work by Dalena Tran, Nick Montfort, Andrew W. Smith, Jody Zellen, Nilufar Karimi and Eliseo Ortiz, Kimberly Lyle, Jonah King, Robert Spahr, Tina Escaja, Caleb Foss, Vincent Morisset and Sean Michaels, Owen Roberts, and others.
GROUP EXHIBItiON & ARTIST TALK AT FLUx FACTORY IN NYC
November 4-28 2021 | NYC
This exhibition takes as its premise the state of ultra-anxiety our culture is functioning within due to the pandemic and worldwide social and economic upheaval. It questions whether our endlessly competitive society, which rewards selfish behavior over altruism, has given us the tools needed to survive or whether artists are needed to lead us away from the brink of extinction.
This group exhibition proposes physical, emotional and psychological survival through the adoption of tactics, methods and tools central to artistic creation but commonly marginalized by societies focused on expediency and short -term financial profit. Through tactics, gadgets, gizmos, interactive machinery, and video narratives a course forward will be explored that values and utilizes unfettered imagination, rampant invention, irrational systems, dream logic, humor and the impossible. This exhibition depends upon and makes the case for a world built on the notion that things are not fixed in their identities but are mutable and can be changed into other things.

CONTEMPORARY Artist grant recipient Exhibition at phoenix art museum
September 23, 2020 - February 21, 2021 | Phoenix, AZ
“Featuring the works by 2019 artists grants’ recipients Christina Gednalske, Danielle Hacche, Kimberly Lyle, Lena Klett, and Nazafarin Lofti, the Friends of Contemporary Art Artists’ Grants Recipients exhibition is the first ever all-women cohort of Grants’ Recipients. Gednalske uses video, writing, photography, painting, and performance to examine presence through body, memory, and space. Hacche’s geometric abstractions are made out of pastel and gouche and emphasize materiality and process by utilizing forms influenced by the German Bauhaus and Brutalist art movements of the twentieth century. Interdisciplinary work by Lyle challenges the boundaries between languages, human and machine, past and present, and each other through sound, sculpture, interactive electronics, and installation. Drawings, sculpture, and video by Klett explore how knowledge is formed – through intuition, interaction, and observation. By exploring opposition, tension, and harmony in spatial arrangements, Lofti’s interdisciplinary practice creates places for possibility and growth.”

open air mattress talks at asu herberger institute day
OCTOBER 12, 2017
Another iteration of our collaborative project, Open Air Mattress Talks, will be taking place during Herberger Institute Day on Oct. 12. We will be hosting one session from 12-1pm and another from 130-230pm. Here's a brief summary of the event:
"In our lives as students, artists and activists, our mattresses have been a place of comfort and rest, of emergent sexual exploration, and sometimes, of violence. We aim to create a safe space to participate, listen, talk, collaborate, laugh and think about these issues..." - project co-designers.
The dialogue will begin with an excerpt from the play With Each Other. Participants will then use their bodies and minds to break down boundaries and have an open conversation about consent and sexual violence prevention on campus. Join us!

presentation at fate conference in kansas city, mo
APRIL 6, 2017
On Thursday, April 6 from 4-5:30 I get to present on the Transitions panel at the FATE conference in Kansas City. I'll be talking about my experience of having only one student in my 2D class last semester and the mobile curriculum that emerged. This was made possible through a travel grant from ASU's HIDA as well as the School of Art.
Transitions Session Abstract: Foundations courses are increasingly taught by educators that are graduate students, new adjunct professors and new-hires at institutions with curricula that diverge widely from institution to institution. While graduate students must juggle the challenges of being both students and educators with less experience to back them, adjunct professors too, find themselves less supported and without reliable mentors. How can graduate students and first-time foundations educators leverage their situations to create pedagogy and classroom situations that create excitement from uncertainty? How can full-time faculty provide better mentorship and resources for first-time foundations educators? Does experience prevail or can freshness lead to innovation? In this session, we will hear from newcomers and experienced educators in transitional situations considering the term transition broadly.
Session Chair: Stacy Isenbarger, University of Idaho

ORDER OF THE THIRD BIRD FELLOW AT MILDRED’S LANE IN NARROWSBURG, PA

I'm excited to be a fellow at Mildred's Lane for a week this summer to attend the Attention Lab: Order of the Third Bird session. I'll be traveling to Narrowsburg, NY through a travel grant from the Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) and a tuition grant from ASU's School of Art.
Description of the session: "Indiscreet associates of The Order of the Third Bird will continue their investigations into experimental protocols of Practical Aesthesis and methods of Sustained Attention. The Attention Lab is part guerrilla seminar and part meditative and kinetic practicum. A discipline of the senses is pursued. Beginning with available traditions and protocols of the Order, the group's aim will be to develop and test new experimental practices of attention."
