Adamcole Studio
About
Adam Cole is an American media artist working with film, installation, and AI technology to subvert the norms of traditional cinema. He is based in London, where he graduated with a master’s degree from the Creative Computing Institute, University of the Arts London. His work examines the complexity of intimacy and identity in the digital age, creating immersive and interactive experiences that project desire in the shadow of artificial representations. He probes these themes through various computational techniques including microprocessors, 3D rendering engines, and AI networks to craft works of experimental expanded cinema. Drawing on the history of images, Adam’s work extends a rich queer tradition of twisting popular media conventions to reveal unspoken double meanings.
Adam’s work has been exhibited internationally at galleries, film festivals, and academic conferences including the SXSW Film Festival, Sheffield DocFest Alternate Realities, Sonar+D Barcelona, and SIGGRAPH Arts. His most recent installation, Kiss/Crash, won an Audience Award at SXSW and has been recognized by the Lumen Prize, the Aesthetica Art Prize, and the Asia Digital Art Award.
