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.
