LILLIAN-YVONNE BERTRAM has been a Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference scholarship winner, a Cave Canem fellow, and a writer-in-residence at the Montana Artists’ Refuge. Her poetry has appeared in The Harvard Review, The Mid-American Review, The Indiana Review, and other journals. She is a graduate of the writing programs at Carnegie Mellon and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is currently a Gaius Charles Bolin Fellow at Williams College.

FLATSITTER engages old and new technologies to create electronic meditations that reimagine everyday experiences through color, light, and sound. The use of digital and analog processing methods contemplates technology as an extension of our sensory existence and synthetically captures a naïve sense of freedom within a heavily mediated world of signals.
