Patricia Reed (she/her) is a theorist, artist and designer based in Berlin. She is Co-Head of the Critical Inquiry Lab, an MA program at the Design Academy Eindhoven (NL). Her transdisciplinary research activities, often in collaboration, examine the planetary turn in a cosmological register with particular focus on techno-feminist and artifactual epistemologies, as well as the interplay of models and practices of inhabitation.
Recent writings have been published in Pierre Huyghe: Liminal, Model is the Message, Navigation beyond Vision, Space Synthesis, Ceremony: Burial of an Undead World, KI-Realitäten: Modelle, Praktiken und Topologien maschinellen Lernens, The Unmanned, Pages Magazine, Glass Bead Journal, The New Normal, Construction Site for Possible Worlds, e-flux Journal and e-flux Architecture.
Reed was an affiliate researcher in the Antikythera 2023 program (US), and co-wrote the Xenofeminist Manifesto as Laboria Cuboniks which was republished by Verso in 2018, with subsequent books in Greek, Korean, French and Spanish. Reed has been awarded an Agent of Change grant in 2023 from the International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam, for which she is preparing a monograph entitled Figuring Planetary Space. A compilation volume of Reed’s works will be released by Holobionte Ediciones (Spanish) in 2024.
