Jake Starr

Biography:

Jake Starr is a research-based artist residing on unceded Gadigal land (Sydney, Australia). Starr’s practice yearns across new media, sculpture, film and text, toward speculative post-human futures. Much of their process involves the appropriation of disregarded ideas, data and intelligences in order to formulate surprising relational ecologies. Starr’s research is informed by the frameworks of post-structuralism and queer ecology as much as the seemingly frameless, fringe stirrings of furry fandom, conspiracy theories and accelerationism. Their work often operates within zones of slippage, creating webs of intimacy which evoke imaginaries that exist beyond historical grand narratives and anthropocentric hegemony.
