Cassandra Tytler is an artist working within single-channel video, performance, and video installation. Her work explores the construction of contemporary identity and its digital representation. Tytler's work combines an unsettling, wry humour with a pop sensibility. It is an ongoing examination of the mechanics of performance and its relationality, where the digital body is both embodied by the performer and received by the spectator.
Tytler has received support and fellowships from numerous organizations such as NARS Foundation, NYC, Druskininkai Artists' Residence, Lithuania, Sumu Artist in Residence program, Turku, Finland, The Camargo Foundation, Cassis, France, The Cité des Internationales, Paris, The Australia Council, The Ian Potter Cultural Trust and the Dame Joan Sutherland Fund, American Australian Association, NYC.

Her videos have screened in numerous festivals internationally. She has done her live video performances around Europe, and in both Miami and Melbourne.
