Whirring Gull

A sandy borehole, a whirring gull

An ongoing series of artworks, workshops, research experiments that question how machine and ecological thinking operate, interpellate, and affect imagination.

Arieh Frosh and Ed Compson are artists and programmers who, since 2020, work collaboratively on socially engaged, technologically-driven projects. So far, these have looked at the effect of wind energy discourse on imagination; the relationship between data and sound; and how we relate to the medically imaged body.

They are currently East Gallery Fellows at Norwich University of the Arts where they are researching how the meeting of contemporary offshore wind turbines with the geological history of Doggerland could be a tool to creatively explore the historical, cultural, and political narratives surrounding wind energy and oceanic thinking.

Arieh is a London-based artist who works via a cross-disciplinary approach, using writing, 3D computer animation, motorised sculptures, and film to form narrative-based projects. He is the Producer of the Digital Programme at The Photographers' Gallery, London, which focuses on social, ecological, aesthetic and political issues arising from the photographic image in network culture.

Ed is an artist and facilitator whose work considers how care, craft, and intimacy can exist within both virtual and natural systems and digital environments. He is a Studio Technician at Chopchoplaser and is currently leading a research project regarding professional practice programs at creative Higher Education Institutions across the UK.

They are graduates of the Royal College of Art, London, and recently produced projects for WEISS at UCL, Cypher BILLBOARD, artsdepot, and Cyprus College of Art.
