Travis LeRoy Southworth (b. 1979, Honolulu, Hawaii) is a conceptual artist working in Digital Media since the late 1990s. His work extends through Post-Internet and touches on aspects of computerized labor and self-perception in the age of image manipulation and social media. In 2017, Southworth began researching blockchain technology along with machine learning. He contributed to the beta-testing of the SuperRare as well as Playform, an early website allowing artists to use artificial intelligence imagining tools.

Southworth's solo exhibitions have been featured in prominent venues such as Below Grand NYC, Undercurrent, Freight + Volume, and Mixed Greens. Additionally, his work has been part of group exhibitions at the Zurich Kunsthalle, The Museum of Contemporary Digital Art, The Trinity Church Museum, The Drawing Center, The Chicago Cultural Center, and The Bronx Museum of the Arts. His work has been written about in the New York Times, Artsy, Basler Zeitung, and Art Slant. Southworth received a Fellowship in Photography from the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) and a residency in Switzerland, that involved a project with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Southworth holds a MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a BFA from the University of Arizona.
