Nadia Armstrong

Nadia J. Armstrong is a visual artist and PhD researcher working with performance, 3D composition, AI and expanded video. Her work is concerned with the commodification of human emotions, the creation of machines and the physical entanglement of our bodies with world systems. She is carrying out an interdisciplinary practice-Based PhD scholarship at NCAD & CONNECT, the Science Foundation Ireland’s Research Centre for Future Networks and Communications. Her research is taking shape as an auto-ethnographic, ecosocial, cyborg feminist examination of the varying forms and systems of knowledge that underpin technology research, development and application. 

Recent exhibitions include the inaugural Beta festival at the Digital Hub, Dublin in November and RENDR festival in Belfast last March. In February, Armstrong spoke on a discourse panel “Content Realism,” at transmediale 2024 at Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin. Other achievements include being selected for the Beta x transmediale 2023 Residency Programme and  the 2022/23 Cybernate Residency programme, produced by Culture Works. She  was the winner of the inaugural Accenture Digital Innovation in Art Award at the 2022 Irish Business to Arts Awards. Nadia is one of 12 European artists under 30, who received a Goethe-Institut AI Residencies Award in 2021. Nadia’s work is supported by the Irish Arts Council and Science Ireland.
