Michael Candy

Bio

Michael Candy is known for his thought-provoking works in a wide range of media, including video, sculpture, installation, robotics, hardware hacking, and intervention. His ambitious and enigmatic installations often emerge as social experiments or ecological interventions—didactic encounters which mediate the liminal realm that digital technologies oppress on the physical world. Candy has been involved in many international and local projects, residencies and exhibitions, notably: Rising21, (Melbourne, Aus) Water, (GOMA, Brisbane), Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art, (AGSA, Adelaide), Ars Electronica Festival, (Linz, Austria), The Kathmandu Triennale (Kathmandu, Nepal), The Forum of Sensory Motion (Athens, Greece), The Instrument Builders Project + Hackteria Lab (Yogyakarta, Indonesia) and Hawapi (Huepetuhe,Peru).
