Alexandra
Bell

Incorporating sound, composed music, moving image, sculpture, writing and performance, I create immersive experiences which challenge perceptions and stimulate empathy for the counterargument. My work uses multimedia, focussing on sound, to confront entrenched ideologies and beliefs. I am concerned with the decline of respectful debate and the emergence of luxury beliefs (virtue-signalling opinions used performatively to confer social status).

My approach is informed by my background in corporate materials innovation; and experiences of growing up in Belfast followed by working and travelling worldwide. Exploring the intersection between culture, arts, technology and science, I believe that the creative process is universal regardless of domain – that the most innovative artists have interests in science and vice versa.
