About
Stephen Cornford is Associate Professor of Art and Technoecologies. He is a media artist and writer who investigates the relationships between technologies and landscapes, between media systems and planetary systems. His work critically questions the environmental impacts of consumer electronics and scientific sensing practices, challenging the viability of addressing ecological collapse through extractive and economic logics. Stephen's recent films, essays and drawings explore the role of technical images in earth science, extractive industry and climate action.

He has had solo exhibitions in Tokyo, Berlin, Brighton, Bergen, Ljubljana & London and his work has been included in group exhibtions at the ZKM Center for Art & Media, Karlsruhe; ICC, Tokyo; Haus der Electronische Kunst, Basel; Sigma Foundation, Venice; Finnish Museum of Photography and Coventry Biennial.
