Miles Dunne

Miles Dunne is an emerging multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans digital mediums,
sculpture, installation, and live performance. In the initial years of his professional career,
Dunne has delved into the intersection of digital programming and physical space,
employing sculpture, light, and sound to explore themes shaped by his upbringing amidst
rapid technological advancement. His work recontextualises technology to investigate
augmentation and mutation within physical environments and objects. Deeply fascinated,
and troubled by critical issues such as war, displacement, environmental degradation, and
the weaponization of now everyday technologies, whilst also drawing inspiration from
science fiction, and imagined, and future technologies, Dunne crafts dystopian narratives,
exploring themes of societal collapse and a recontextualisation of the concept of nature. His
exploration of urban landscapes, industrial materials, and brutalist architectural forms,
inform his approach to sculpture, engaging with themes of urban decay and
industrialisation.
