Katie Hallam

Born: 1982

Hometown: Nottingham

Based in: Scotland

Katie Hallam is an artist working primarily in digital photography and print but has recently moved into creating sculptural works where new media art meets geology, fossils and contemporary spaces. This allegory is shown in motifs of geology representing ‘ancient power', with the digital age represented with an electrifying palette; neon green and ultraviolets. Katie considers the traces digital culture will leave on the earth by creating hybrid manifestations through sculpture and digital materiality. Like alchemy, her works connect technology with archaic power. These ‘digital-mineral hybrids’ are hypnotic works that sit against a background of open, natural and urban landscapes as Katie teases the question of a glitch in nature.

More About Katie Hallam

Question Icon Describe your creative process.

Similar to technology, my works have a simultaneous duality in their form and in their intrinsic content. The ‘digital-mineral hybrids’ are hypnotic works that sit against a background of open, natural and urban landscapes as I tease the idea of a glitch in nature. By placing these digital manifestations into contemporary settings, I like the humor, oddity and unsettling feelings they may bring to potentially come across one of these objects in everyday life, making us consider our use of technology and the impact it has on our future ecologies.
