Early life

At the age of six, her family emigrated to Brooklyn, New York, where her parents encountered initial difficulty due to language barriers.[4] After Kaganskiy's parents learned computer programming in the early 1990s, her family established a middle-class household.[4]

Kaganskiy graduated from Emerson College in 2007.[5]

In 2008, Kaganskiy started the New York-based arts, culture, and technology meetup group ArtsTech shortly after graduating.[2] She subsequently interned at the Museum of Modern Art's digital learning department in 2009,[6] and started to curate pop-up shows for new media art.[4]

In 2010, VICE Media invited Kaganskiy to join the Creators Project, an arts/technology publication founded in partnership with Intel,[7] where she served as editor until 2014.[8]

In 2014, the New Museum appointed Kaganskiy director of NEW INC,[8] a cultural incubator launched to support artists, innovators, and entrepreneurs working in art, design, and technology.[1]
