Jay Darlington (b. 1998) is an artist based in the United Kingdom

and recent graduate from The Glasgow School of Art (BFA, 2020).

Jay’s work looks at the ways in which human behaviour, politics

and emotion both shape and are shaped by virtual systems,

questioning the relationship between our physical experience and

the quasi-mythical powers of signal-based information. His work

is often informed by research into internet subcultures, groups

that inhabit both clearnet and non-clearnet landscapes. The

common theme in these often polarising online communities is a

general desire to escape from the present day reality, to create a

future that suits them. Jay engages with these new worlds

through CGI videos, 3D printed sculptures and interactive video

installations.
