Nat & Veronica are Los Angeles based artists dedicated to exploring the problem of how to live in the digital era. Their practice is not bound by medium, but traverses film, VR and live performance. Their work grapples with fundamental questions of being: Why am I here? What does it mean to exist? What should I do with my time on earth?

Currently, they are in development for a film (This World and The Next) and a video game (Arcana), both of which deal the the intersection of digital culture and the metaphysical.
