CUE welcomes Aidan Robertson to AFTER THE HAUNTING.
Aidan Robertson was born, (2001), into the rising internet age. Growing up in the countryside, he sees humanity, nature and technology as one interconnected system. The artist explores the tensions around the emotive and natural we experience in digitised, city-based lives.
Robertson’s current practice expresses the precious nature of memories in our digitally merged lives; the digital ‘soul’ which could be exploited by technology such as AI.
He uses symbolism of speculative devices, modernist structures, signals, and desert-like landscapes to talk of this precious but uncertain aspect of humanity. Expressed through a form of digital “hauntology“, work hints at a timeless human spirit, pulled between the organic and digital tensions of possible futures.
Works are supported by extensive world-building - sketches that map a future where biology and technology are inextricably linked.
He seamlessly combines ancient practices with modern; rounded woodwork merged with steel network structures, copper etchings amongst electronics, and game-like renders of primitive urns.

Screening and Discussion with Melanie Cove
27 August 4:30 - 5:30
Simone Marconi, ‘Docile Sodom (Where Does it End)’
Melanie Cove, ‘The Revenant’
PV 27/08 6-9PM // Opening daily 28 & 29, 12-5PM @bronckobianchi 485 Hackney Rd, E2 9EG
