Emily April O’Neill

Emily April O’Neill is a printmaker and installation artist based on Ngunnawal Ngambri country, ACT. Her practice is interdisciplinary and influenced by her studies in science and biochemistry and her interest in programming and technology. In her installations, she combines the materiality and process of printmaking with technology through code and projection, to create interactive worlds. Her works engage with how emerging technology alters our rituals, intimate spaces, and identity through the dissolution of the boundaries between physical and virtual, private, and public spaces.

Desk(top) is part of a series of works and experiments produced concerned with the desk and desktop as a site of cultural and creative production and the merging of physical and digital realms. Printmaking is one of the original modes of replication as a way of sharing and distributing ephemera, so how can printmaking and digital sharing through virtual space intersect and communicate with each other?
