Nathan Bayliss is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice interrogates the evolving relationship between human experience and the technologies that shape contemporary life. His work employs fiction and worldbuilding to reveal speculative, critical horizons that traverse social, political and personal narratives. Working across a range of media including AI, AR, VR, animation, and film, Nathan creates works that investigate the implications of emerging technologies.
Born in Australia, Nathan Bayliss moved to London in 2008 and now works from a studio in Hackney, East London. He recently completed an MFA in Computational Arts from Goldsmiths, University of London. His dissertation “Archive of the Not Yet” explored the emergent affordances of AI as a diffractive medium. Nathan has been working with AI since 2018, seeking to understand how large-scale “big data” systems can be reoriented around “small data” and personal archives.
His work has been featured in exhibitions at FRIEZE, Somerset House, Lumen Prize, Watermans Gallery, Art Machines (Hong Kong) and Currents New Media (USA).
