Chris Korda (born 1962)[1] is an American artist, electronic musician, software developer, and environmental activist, best known as the leader of the Church of Euthanasia.
Korda's work combines provocative performance art with political and environmental activism, challenging societal norms and advocating for sustainable living.
In 1992, Korda founded the Church of Euthanasia, a satirical religious organization advocating for population reduction through non-traditional methods, including abortion, cannibalism, and sodomy.
[3] The music video "I Like To Watch", which was published on the website of the Church of Euthanasia after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, provoked massive criticism.
"[6] Frieze Magazine reviewed the exhibition and wrote: "Korda's primary aim is to raise awareness about the environmental crisis and the need for radical solutions.
She explores this project as a software developer, creating programs designed to generate forms and music exceeding human capacities.
Korda began experimenting with electronic music in the late 1980s, using synthesizers and computer software to create innovative soundscapes.
The provocative and often controversial nature of Korda's work challenges societal norms and encourages critical thinking about environmental and political issues.
