Joey Holder

Joey Holder is an artist and researcher whose work raises philo­soph­i­cal questions of our universe and things yet unknown across science, technology, and human-machine-animal inter­ac­tions. She creates immersive, multimedia ​‘worlds’ by conversing with experts across fields including marine biology, genetic research, and behavioural psychology, exploring themes ranging from deep-sea lifeforms, speculative evolution, Magick, non-human time and aliens.

She is currently a PhD Candidate at Birmingham City University where she is exploring how par­tic­i­pa­to­ry, trans­dis­ci­pli­nary artworks can reshape our under­stand­ing of time and life through the lens of res­ur­rec­tion ecology and regeneration. 

Holder has exhibited widely inter­na­tion­al­ly, including the Harvard Museum of Natural History, Design Museum London, the Sydney, Athens, Ljubljana, Wuhan and Moscow Biennales, and Trans­me­di­ale in Berlin. She also directs SPUR, an online platform supporting digital art, and Chaos Magic, an arts project space in Nottingham.

In 2021 she was named in Apollo Magazine’s 40 Under 40 for her cutting-edge con­tri­bu­tions to the inter­sec­tion of art and technology. She has been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, Frieze magazine, Artforum, Art Monthly, Flash Art, Studio Inter­na­tion­al, Dazed, VICE and BOMB.
