Megan Brierley is a multidisciplinary artist who uses ink, video, digital collage and projection mapping to explore the relationship between humans and their artificial other, the posthuman condition, and the commodification of women’s bodies. Megan adopts poses from 1970’s porn magazines to create monochromatic images of erotic and uncanny women, whilst also piecing together fragmented body parts within her digital work to explore the artificial and digitalised human. With artificial intelligence rapidly on the rise, reality becoming ever obscured, and society becoming more sexualised, Megan's work aims to merge the real and the artificial, whilst also uncovering the links between technologised bodies and pornography.
