Igraine Grey (IGREY) works with performative writing, digital sprawl av/media, and conceptual body art. IGREY’s neo-post-apocalyptic body unfolds in a future-past of turmoil in their country of birth, Venezuela, racially-charged Houston, TX, the noir of climate change, and nuclear threat in mega-urbanity. Their hybrid, multi-contextual, media heterotopias activate liminality within technology and philosophy. IGREY’s work fluctuates between data and subjectivity, banality and sublimation, meaning and the absurd. Their work ranges across a lexicon of experimentation, including: psycho-amalgamatic memory-paradigms, hyperreality and délire, ekstasis, and voids. IGREY continues to recursively research anarchic gestures, cogito ruptures, fragments, collections, connections, re-arrangements, variation, multiplicities…collapsed against systems of order, investigating tension and interface between the real and the virtual, embodiment and disembodiment, presence and absence, towards and away, a theory of origins. IGREY also works as the duo GREYMAR.
