Hi, this is Ben Cullen Williams. I am currently reworking a video work shown as part of the Venice Biennale in 2024. It was part of a performance directed by Sir Wayne McGregor. The work stems from a residency I took at the base of mount Enta in the summer of 2024, when Etna was erupting. Created though a combination of AI and digital rendering, the work also nods to different modes of representation of landscape within painting.

Ben Cullen Williams is a London based artist, whose practice moves between mediums and modes of presentation. In his work, Williams explores the spectacle of human made alterations of our natural landscapes and corporeal world through various lenses and technological devices. He has collaborated with Wayne McGregor, Polar Explorer Robert Swan and Google Arts and Culture and MIT Media Lab amongst others. His work has been shown internationally in a range of spaces, galleries and environments. Exhibitions, performances and screenings include Musée d’arts de Nantes, CAFA Art Museum Beijing, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion Los Angeles, Somerset House London, Shinjuku Vision Tokyo and the Venice Biennale.
