About
Possession & Automation
Possession & Automation is a collaborative research project led by Nicholas Ridout and Orlagh Woods, in collaboration with Joe Kelleher and Fiona Templeton. It has since expanded to include a range of other artists, writers and academics.*
We are exploring automation and possession as two ways of thinking about what happens to human subjects who act in ways that they do not themselves fully control.
How can making and thinking about artistic practice contribute to thinking about and through these ideas collectively.
