Nye Thompson (b. 1966) is an artist turned software designer turned artist. Her work spans image-making, video and sculptural installation, film-making, archiving, mapping, experimental software architectures and process-based performance. Thompson has shown internationally at locations including Tate Modern, Barbican, The Lowry, The V&A, ZKM Karlsruhe, Chronus Art Center, Ars Electronica and The Louvre. Her work has been featured on BBC, Radio 4, Channel 4 News, CNN, Flash Art, the Guardian and Wired. Thompson made the world’s first AI horror film for machines and has exchanged postcards with orbiting satellites. Her very first solo show in 2016 - described by C4 News as “too shocking to broadcast” - became global clickbait and triggered an international government complaint. She has been called “a contemporary Jacques Cousteau” (Bob & Roberta Smith) and “the new Big Brother” (Vogue).
