Alex Bell is multimedia artist, focussing on digital, light and sonic arts. Her work incorporates sound, music, moving image, sculpture, writing and performance to create immersive experiences which challenge perceptions and stimulate empathy for the counterargument. She is concerned with 21st century “mauvais foi” (bad faith, Sartre), where we evade the responsibility of discovering and understanding ourselves and the consequences of our actions, failing to exercise integrity and autonomy in life choices. Her practice explores intersections between culture, arts, technology and science to confront entrenched ideologies and beliefs. Originally from Belfast, Alex has lived, worked and expeditioned on all continents, often in remote cultures and landscapes, before setting up her studio overlooking the sea in East Lothian.
