Jade Boyd is a visual artist and PhD candidate at Sydney College of the Arts, researching occulted energies in nature and technology. Jade’s artistic practice encompasses audio, video and installation, often in a live setting and in collaboration with musicians and sound artists.“Boyd is fascinated by the capacity of technology for manifesting the otherwise unseen forces which govern our existence, as acknowledged by science and the occult. The intersection of these superficially opposing areas is where Boyd finds inspiration…. Boyd works to unveil these forces via “sound waves and electronic impulses…” (Joseph Stannard, (The Wire), 2011)
Jade’s work has been shown at MoMA PS1 (New York, 2012), Kunstraum Kreuzberg (Berlin, 2012), Stenersen Museet (Oslo, 2010) and TENT (Rotterdam, 2009). She has performed live video at numerous festivals including Unsound (New York/ Krakow (2010/11/12/14), Oslo Screen Festival (Norway, 2014), Vivid (Sydney, 2014), Antigel (Geneva, 2013), Rue Morgue Festival of Fear (Toronto, 2012), Vision Sound Music Festival, London (2011) and The Now Now (Sydney, 2017).
