Anna Madeleine is a Sydney based emerging artist working in stop-motion animation and mixed media. She graduated from ANU School of Art in 2007 and is currently a PhD candidate in Media Arts at College of Fine Arts, UNSW, and a freelance arts writer.
Her current work explores the nexus between art and technology, using mixed media and traditional frame-by-frame animation techniques to present a co-evolution of old and new technology and offset the familiarity of the digital in new media art.
She has been shown in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Montreal, Los Angeles and London, and she has been involved with several Australian and international residencies including Insight Radical (Chemistry Department, Melbourne University), Sydney Artspace, Splendid Arts Lab, Kala Arts Institute (Berkeley), and Canberra Contemporary Art Space.
