Hannah B. Higgins (born 1964) is an American writer and academic living in Chicago, Illinois. Higgins's research examines various post-conceptual art historical subjects (visual, audio, computational and material) in terms of two philosophically and practically entwined terms: information and sensation. She is the Professor of Intermedia and Avant-Garde Art and Culture in the Department of Art History and a founding Director of IDEAS; an interdisciplinary arts major, at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Higgins' courses and research have a focus in the twentieth century, specifically avant-garde early digital art in various art movements and subjects, like Dadaism, Fluxus, food art, Happenings, Surrealism, and performance art.
