Ingrid Burrington (born 1987) is a writer and artist based out of Brooklyn, New York, whose work focuses on data, internet infrastructure, the sciences, and the tech industry.

Her book Networks of New York: An Illustrated Field Guide to Urban Internet Infrastructure with Melville House Publishing was released in 2016, and her writing has also appeared in numerous publications including The Atlantic, The Nation, Vice, and San Francisco Arts Quarterly.

Career

Burrington's career, which began with a focus on art and data visualization, shifted toward the field of network infrastructure in 2013 after the leaking of the Snowden files. It was then that she became interested in what the inside of the internet looked like, beyond what the media was trying to depict. This eventually lead Burrington to write her book, Networks of New York, where she uses over fifty illustrations to help readers understand and outline the urban Internet infrastructure.

Over the course of Burrington's career, she has received noteworthy grants and held positions with organizations such as:

Burrington has also held adjunct teaching positions at Cooper Union (2018-2019, 2024-2025), The New School (2021), Rhode Island School of Design (2017), and School for Poetic Computation (2015–2016). As of spring 2020 she is involved in the Humans in Residence (HIRs) program within the NYU Tisch School of The Arts.

She has also participated in numerous residencies, held teaching positions, and presented talks and workshops to the public. Burrington is currently represented as an artist by NOME, an art gallery focused on raising awareness about current issues and based in Berlin. She is also a founding member of Deep Lab.

Burrington graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2009 with a BFA in Printmaking and completed her doctorate at the Department of Geography and Spatial Sciences at the University of Delaware in January 2026.
