Read MoreYandell Walton is an artist working with moving image, computer generated imagery and installation.
She has become recognised for immersive works that merge the actual and virtual to investigate notions of impermanence, interrogating shifting environments caused by climate change. Her work has been commissioned, exhibited, and awarded nationally and internationally including ART+CLIMATE=CHANGE Festival (Australia), Light City Baltimore (USA), Digital Graffiti Florida (USA), International Symposium of Electronic Art (Australia).
She was the recipient of the Australian Network for Art and Technology IDEATE grant and the Philip Hunter Fellowship and recently undertook the Labverde residency in the Amazon Rainforest informing major new projects throughout 2022 and 2023.
Driven by emotional responses to the climate crisis, my recent research investigates ecological shifts in landscape due to human impact. During the residency at Bundanon I will take time to connect with the surrounding landscape and develop experimental works that respond to site. Working with technology including photogrammetry, motion capture, programable LED lighting and projection, works will merge technology, human and landscape. I will continue ongoing research exploring alternative visions of the posthuman convergence through a queer, feminist lens.
