Biography

AMERICAN ARTIST is a multimedia artist working primarily with sculpture, software and video, who explores themes of technology, race, and knowledge production through their work. The artist sees a connection between art and the idea of abolition, as both strive to inspire change and imagine new ways of being. They examine the impact of new technologies on the use of predictive policing which utilizes data from past crimes to predict future criminal activity. Their film, 2015 (2019), explores the concept through fictionalized dashcam footage of a police officer. They aim to highlight the increasing prevalence of predictive policing in society, despite the fact that the technology has been around for a while. The film portrays a sense of unease around the idea of police using software to target certain areas as potential crime zones and labelling anyone in those areas as suspects.

ARTIST aims to engage audiences in discussions and challenge dominant narratives around the role of law enforcement in current society. ...
