Oliewenhuis Art Museum, Reservoir

Re-Future
by Dr Keith Armstrong


Keith Armstrong is an experimental artist profoundly motivated by issues of social and ecological justice. His engaged, participative practices provoke audiences to comprehend, envisage and imagine collective pathways towards sustainable futures. He has specialised for more than 20 years in collaborative, experimental practices with emphasis upon innovative performance forms, site-specific electronic arts, networked interactive installations, alternative interfaces, art-science collaborations and socially and ecologically engaged practices.

Keith's research asks how insights drawn from scientific and philosophical ecologies can help us to better invent and direct experimental art forms, with the understanding that art practitioners can also act as powerful provocateurs in the long journey towards sustainable futures. Through inventing radical research methodologies and processes, he has led and created over 60 major art works and process-based projects, which have been shown internationally, supported by numerous grants from the public and private sectors.
