Ed Atkins
Ed Atkins’ interest in high-definition image technologies and immersive sound is based on their paradoxical capacity to produce images the artist describes as “both ridiculously alive and yet completely dead”.
His spoken word performances, which feature a new hybrid humanity, are driven by a desire to destabilise the viewer. Influenced by literature, his scripts inform the soundtrack and structure of his videos. A tragic experience, artistic challenge and essential philosophical subject, death is at the heart of his work as an allegory of digital imagery devoid of substance.
