Artist in Resident - Bek Conroy
October - December 2025

In this residency, Bek Conroy will be researching and conducting a series of casual informal experiments using colouring in (yes, colouring in) as a methodology for slowing down and disrupting the increasing prevalence of predicative technologies on our bodies and logistical systems. Starting with assertion that The Body is a Sensory Apparatus, this residency will investigate the powerful capacities of the fascia, vagus nerve, interoception, and gut microbiome systems of the human body. These magnificent computational and predictive technologies of the flesh constantly ingest our environment and together with our past histories assist us in how to take action in the world.  More +
