Tully Arnot’s practice develops on ‘outsider’ modes of invention, generating a non-teleological creative process with unanticipated outcomes. Inventive and alchemical explorations of material and form are used to explore the subtle changing of states within art from everyday object to sculpture/invention/artwork, or stuck between in a state of flux. Further Arnot’s work aims to reconnect with objects and understand what their functions (and by extension, our needs) really are. His works poetically interpret the intangible relationships we have with everyday items and illuminate new ways of thinking and interacting with the world around us., More subjectively, his work addresses feelings of absence, longing, play, the uncanny, human relationships with objects and technology, the absurd and contradiction. Arnot’s current research explores various real and imagined Artificial Intelligences, addressing the value of our relationships with non-sentient forms. His current body of work looks at the way these relationships feed back into our own capacity to interact meaningfully with one another. His work often integrates complex technologies with everyday or crass components. This merging of high and low thought exemplifies the isolating nature of our increasingly connected, but ultimately disconnected world.
