Christopher M. Carruth is an artist, educator, and technologist whose practice asks what it means to remain human inside systems that act upon us. Working across photography, text, code, mapping, performance, and installation, he explores attention as a form of agency -how we direct it, protect it, interrupt it, refuse it, and leave traces of what we notice.

Rooted in sustained observation and engagement with place, his work examines how technological, institutional, and spatial systems shape perception, movement, and behavior. Through interruption, refusal, and close attention, Carruth works within and against these structures, questioning their prescribed ways of seeing, knowing, and moving through the world.

Carruth is Teaching Assistant Professor of Information Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, where his teaching and digital humanities work engage technology, ethics, and critical systems alongside his artistic practice. His work has been exhibited internationally and is often situated between the gallery, classroom, and public sphere. He splits his time between Boulder, Colorado and Vancouver, British Columbia.
