SOUR MILK is an artist collective comprising Christina Tang, Carsen Joenk, and Anna Jastrzembski. We make interactive experiential games that explore how we, as people, find our place and power within complex systems.
Our work is based on experiments in mediated liveness, digital nostalgia, new pathways for human-human connection, and having a grand punkin’ good time.
CHRISTINA TANG
// Artistic Director & Creative Technologist
Christina is a lighting designer and creative technologist based in NYC. She is a frequent design collaborator on new works for theater and dance. As a creator, she is interested in technology’s ability to express and elide systems of labor and connection. She is currently an artist-in-residence at the NYU Production Lab and a post-doc research resident at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program, where she holds her M.P.S.
CARSEN JOENK
// Creative Director & Experience Designer
Carsen is a multidisciplinary artist who embraces the weird, wild, and unfamiliar. Much of her work lives at the intersection of sound and story, using stylized theatricality as a means of entertainment, conversation, and dissidence. Carsen is the co-artistic director of Rat Queen Theatre Company, a 2023 Clubbed Thumb Directing Fellow, member of the 2020-2022 Roundabout Directors Group, and a resident artist with New Light Theater Project. As a sound designer, her work has been heard across theatre, film, podcasts, and new media.
ANNA JASTRZEMBSKI
// Narrative Designer
Anna is a New York City and Santa Fe-based playwright, lyricist, and transmedia artist. She graduated with an MFA in Playwriting from Columbia University in 2019. Anna’s work often combines a relentless interrogation of the status quo, exploration of sexuality and identity, and an embrace of the fantastic.
