Artist, Researcher, Lecturer @ University of the Arts London
Adam Cole (UK) deals with the complexities of intimacy and identity in the age of AI through works that explore desire in the shadow of artificial representation. He integrates advanced AI-technologies, film, and installation to challenge the normative fantasies embedded in AI networks, seeking more diverse, poetic, and sensual alternatives. He is currently based at the Creative Computing Institute, University of the Arts London, as a lecturer and doctoral candidate.
Cole’s work has been exhibited worldwide at prominent galleries, film festivals, and media arts conferences, including Tate Britain, SXSW Film Festival, Sheffield DocFest, Sonar+D Barcelona, Le Lieu Unique, and SIGGRAPH Arts. His installations have been recognized by multiple prestigious awards, including the Lumen Prize, Aesthetica Art Prize, and Asia Digital Art Award and the XR Audience Award at SXSW 2024. Adam is an Onassis ONX AiR Fellow.
