Ami Clarke is a visual artist who’s practice critically engages and explores ways of living with complexity and uncertainty, drawing out interdependencies across finance, the environment, and ideological apparatus such as neoliberalism, from a critical xeno-feminist post-human position. Their practice spans film, video, sculpture, and sound, often integrating game engines, VR, CGI, and 3D modelling to create multi- dimensional experiences in both real and virtual environments. There is an emphasis upon grasping something of the complexity of the multi-temporalities and scales, cross-species contaminations and alliances that come of posthuman studies, with an evolving awareness of power relations, which necessarily take into account colonial histories as well as neo-colonial extractions of value. Their work is conceptually framed in ways that critique is articulated through it’s production, drawing out new behaviours emerging from human engagement with technology, through performative modes. Experimental writing/publishing methods and strategies often drive the work, in both an on and offline context, as well as informing spoken word performance.
