Studio practice

Timothy Simmons is a contemporary British artist working at the intersection of physical and virtual realms. His research contemplates our actions and behaviour as we live through the Anthropocene and observe the sixth mass extinction unfold around us.

His multidisciplinary practice examines anthropogenic activity through the use of photography, screen, sculpture and digital media. Technologies such as lidar, photogrammetry, game engines and artificial intelligence are deployed in order to harness new opportunities to depict and engage with the subject matter, reflecting humankind’s obsession with technological progress.

Works oscillate between the meditative and the confrontational, often drawing upon the visual language of film, video games and consumer graphics to create works that question our place within a planetary ecosystem which we are failing catastrophically.
