Kianna “Annaik” Aether

I grew up west of Austin, Texas and moved central to attend St. Edwards University, where I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Graphic Design in 2013. As a child of the internet age, I have always been inspired by technology, as well as the many art styles I would have not been exposed to had it not been for the World Wide Web. I began learning how to write code, as well as tame the monster that is Photoshop at the age of 12. After nearly a decade of struggling to find myself in a world of distractions, vices, hardships and chaos, I am now finally settling into what I want to do as a creative, and allowing that vision to define my path into the future. It is through my photography that I have been able to revalidate my life long romance for color theory and begin to craft my aesthetic.

As of September of 2023,  I have taken the plunge and left the confines of 9-5 life to pursue my passions full time. In additional to Lady Aether Productions, I am actively working to launch my creative digital design agency Aethernet[online] which I have slated for an official launch in Spring of 2024.

I am constantly working to explore other ways I can apply my love for technology and art, as well as truly define technology as a creative medium. In a landscape that has begun to be ravaged by the misuse of AI tools, I feel like it is imperative now more than ever to be vocal about the ways in which technology can help artists, not displace and replace them. My vision is to continue exploring the intersection between art and technology and utilizing the power of both to signal boost the things I feel matter most. I feel that art truly has the power to change the world, and in a world that desperately needs saving, artists are needed now more than ever. The revolution has begun, onto the future!
