Philip Thompson

Phil Thompson (b. 1988) is an artist concerned with the way in which digital technologies have changed the way we perceive and produce contemporary art works. Working across disciplines including websites, video, sculpture and painting, Thompson explores the limitations of digital reproductions, as well as questioning the ethics present within these systems.

In the group exhibition Landscapes of the Future, Thompson presented a work experienced through a mobile device, using footage filmed in Abogbloshie, the worlds largest digital waste dump, in Accra, Ghana.
