Stephen Cornford is a media artist and writer whose research investigates the relationships between technologies and landscapes, between media systems and planetary systems. Critically questioning the environmental impacts of consumer electronics and scientific sensing practices, his work challenges the viability of addressing ecological collapse through extractive and economic logics. Much of Stephen’s recent work was made alongside scientific researchers. He has collaborated with geophysicists prospecting for lithium, and held an Earth Art Fellowship with volcanologists studying magma crystallisation with X-rays.
