“Australian artist Tully Arnot works at the intersection of sculpture, nature and technology. Exploring the interface between virtual and so-called real life is a project that runs parallel to the tech industry itself, but where the industry strives to ‘solve’ the problem or make life easier, Tully’s work tends to complicate the collision. Whether he is animating fake plants or taking social media to its absurd limits, Tully’s objects continually confuse reality, even after we return to it. It’s an effect he calls an ‘uncanny residue’. Tully has shown work in exhibitions across Australia, UK, Germany, Belgium, Italy, China, Russia, and New Zealand.”
