Nicholas Marriott is a queer new media artist based here in Naarm, working in and with real-time systems, live coding, and the shifting digital spaces and new emerging physical forms. Their practice explores porous selves, refracted perceptions of identity/gender and moments of pareidolia. Traditionally digital, they increasingly weave physical elements into their work, using real-time systems and live code, reclaiming these tools shaped by capitalist desire, inviting more accessibility in these technologies from which new aesthetics grow.
