Soft Bodies, Cold Machines is a solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Ambie Drew. Transforming the galleries into a teenage girl’s fantasy bedroom and metaphor for today’s internet culture, this immersive exhibition starts playful before slowly revealing an unsettling understory. 

Exploring what it means to grow up online in a world shaped by targeted advertising and AI-generated imagery through interactive installations and moving-image, featured works confront the audience with the impossibility of disentangling oneself from our curated digital persona. Capturing the anxiety of being consumed by the content algorithmic systems feed us.

Artist ( Description ): 

Ambie Drew (b. 1996) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Worcester. Her practice interrogates how digital consumerism and artificial intelligence shape the construction of gender and female identity online. Working across moving image, sculptural installation, and text, Ambie adopts a hyperfeminised alter ego to explore the consequences of living in a heavily mediated world where the physical and digital exist in constant flux. Incorporating obsolete technologies, her work reflects on how intimacy, memory, and reality are entangled with internet culture and machine-driven desire.

Venue ( Address ): 

25-27 Camden Road NW1 9LN
