Bruce Gilchrist is an artist who often works collaboratively across multiple art forms. He co-founded the artist group London Fieldworks in 2000 and has a background in digital live art, where projects have explored the poetic use of databases and physiological interfaces. His projects often involve the possibility of public involvement through the generation of data, and in this way is able to ask subtle questions about the accumulation of informational capital and rhetoric around sharing.
As automation bias tells us we would trust machines before other people, is data replacing the body as the primary interface between self and the world? Motivated by this question, his current research is exploring how artists are approaching and asking questions concerning the widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence and its related technologies. Alongside this he will develop a new series of artworks responding to the fact that digital technologies are fundamentally revolutionising the ways in which we communicate, interact and perceive one another.
Referencing these concerns and steered by art-making he has embarked on an AHRC funded PhD studentship at Sunderland University, in association with D6, and the Open Data Institute’s (ODI) Data as Culture (DaC) art programme, London. His approach will include an experimental participatory method, and will employ filmmaking as a tool for reflection.
