Artist Bio
Francis Carmody
Francis Carmody’s practice can be understood as a form of speculative storytelling, in which he traces social and natural networks in an effort to not only understand the structures that underpin our current reality, but also foster future imaginaries. His work spans varied mediums and engages an ever-expanding list of collaborators, drawing on the expertise of people across diverse disciplines and technical capabilities to investigate historical and natural phenomena, and to realise projects.
This process of enquiry draws on meticulous research, cold calling, persistence and frequent rejection. Creating an ever-expanding list of Project Partners and friends in the process including Psychics, DNA scientists, Neuroscientists, Day-Time Television Sales Specialists, Media Managers, Border Force Agents, Computational Designers, Patent Lawyers, Cartoonists, Graphic Designers, Architects, Automotive painters.
