Lyndsey
Walsh is an American artist, writer, and researcher based in Berlin, DE.
Lyndsey has a Bachelor’s in Individualized Studies from New York University and
a Master’s in Biological Arts with Distinction from SymbioticA Centre of
Excellence in Biological Arts at the University of Western Australia. Lyndsey
is enthralled by the ruptures in the corporeality of culture caused by
technology. They are also fixated on the creatures that are born from these ruptures, as
they embody both collective cultural fears and technologically mediated
desires.
Lyndsey’s practice employs queer and intersectional feminist
frameworks to question the tensions that can exist surrounding these creatures
whose very existence resists cultural and anthropocentric binaries of
human-non-human, diseased-healthy, and life-machine. Currently, Lyndsey is a visiting scholar and
researcher with the Department of Experimental Biophysics at Humboldt
Universität zu Berlin, and they guest lecture at various institutions and
universities. Their work has been exhibited globally and featured in art events
and with institutions such as Frieze Art Week New York, the Humboldt Forum, the
Ural Biennial, the Berlin Biennale, Transmediale/CTM, and more.
