Ingrid Bachmann (born 1958) is a Canadian contemporary artist based in Montreal known mostly for her interactive kinetic sculptures that mix technology and ordinary everyday objects.

[5][6][7] But as J.R. Carpenter points out: "Much of Bachmann’s work with technology has been aimed at demystifying it, humanizing it, stripping it down to its essentials, and then hanging stories on those bare bones.

She has used bits of yarn to map the internet’s under-sea cables, harnessed the computer loom to 'print' seismic activity, offered giant knitting needles as a user-computer interface.

"[8] In an article in Canadian Art Magazine Terence Sharpe writes: "Ingrid Bachmann’s work can be read as a mapping of social and technological evolutions.

"[3] Bachmann’s artist biography for the Sydney, Australia exhibition (2016) "The Patient" describes her work as existing "at the crossroads of the technological, the generative, the performative and the corporeal.

She is the co-editor of Material Matters (YYZ Books, 1998, 1999, 2011) and has contributed essays to several anthologies and periodicals including The Object of Labor, MIT Press 2007.
