Emelye BarlowPORTFOLIO

ARTIST STATEMENT

My practice explores the fragmented nature of the digital age, using video and found images as raw material. I treat editing as a form of digital archaeology—excavating, reconfiguring, and presenting chaos through rapid cuts and rhythmic shifts that mirror the non-linear flow of online life. By incorporating dance and the body, I highlight the repetitive, exhausting rhythms of internet culture and the homogenised expressions produced through globalisation. My work navigates the tension between ephemeral digital content and physical presence. Through visual collisions, disarray, and immersive installation, I aim to reflect and critique our data-saturated condition—uncovering both moments of joyful connection and unsettling uniformity.
