Sophie Dumaresq is an interdisciplinary artist who brings perspectives of absurdity, queerness and humour to robotics, automata and mechanics. Working across photography, video installation, sculpture, and performance, her work explores what it is to try to communicate in a universe filled with beings whose brains, existence, and/or bodies are built inherently differently from that of your own. Her artistic practice explores what it means to share joy, love and laughter in our relationships with both other humans and non-humans. She seeks to bring voices of inclusion and difference to future and emerging cultures of robotics, automation and computation.
Sophie graduated from ANU honours first in her year in 2023, winning the Peter and Lena Karmel Anniversary Award for the most outstanding graduating body of work from the Australian Nation University’s School of Art and Design. She was also awarded a Peter and Lena Karmel Visual Arts Honours Scholarship.
