Amanda Tkaczyk (b. 1989) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Ontario, Canada. Her participatory practice explores how technology shapes human relationships and how art can cultivate deeper forms of belonging. Working across performance, poetry, film, and visual art, she creates experiences that invite audiences to become co-creators rather than spectators.
Informed by her background in psychology and artificial intelligence (Master's of AI, Queen's University, 2021), Amanda develops technology-mediated artworks that examine trust, care, intimacy, and collective meaning-making. Her work bridges contemporary art, technology, psychology, and education to prototype new ways of relating in an increasingly AI-mediated world.
Since establishing her practice in 2024, Amanda's work has been presented at venues including: Third Shift Contemporary Art Festival (Saint John, NB), Wheat City Nuit Blanche (Brandon, MB), Hillside Festival (Guelph, ON), Grimsby Public Art Gallery, Helson Gallery (Georgetown, ON), Art Gallery of Burlington, Ottawa Fringe Festival, and Hamilton Fringe Festival. In 2026, she was selected as a Performance and Extended Reality Fellow with Single Thread Theatre.
Her work has been supported by the Ontario Arts Council, the Government of Ontario, the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund as well as a fellowship exploring the future of care with ArtsPond with support from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Government of Ontario.
Amanda's current projects include her first solo exhibition at Cambridge Art Galleries (opens August 2026), her first curatorial project at Necessary Arts (November 2026) and the development of new participatory artworks exploring AI, belonging, and social technology.
Dimensions of Opacity was developed with support from the Ontario Arts Council.
