Adam Cole deals with the complexities of intimacy and identity in the age of AI, crafting immersive experiences that explore desire in the shadow of artificial representation. He integrates advanced AI technologies, film, and installation within an expanded cinema practice to challenge the normative fantasies embedded in AI networks, seeking more diverse, poetic, and sensual alternatives.

As a lecturer and doctoral candidate at the Creative Computing Institute, University of the Arts London, Cole merges a rigorous technical foundation with innovative artistic experimentation. Drawing on the history of images, he extends a rich queer tradition of subverting popular media conventions to reveal unspoken double meanings.

Cole’s work has been exhibited worldwide at prominent galleries, film festivals, and media arts conferences, including Tate Britian, SXSW Film Festival, Ars Electronica, the Onassis Foundation, Sheffield DocFest Alternate Realities, Sonar+D Barcelona, Le Lieu Unique, and SIGGRAPH Arts. His installations have been recognized by multiple prestigious awards — including the Lumen Prize, Aesthetica Art Prize, and Asia Digital Art Award—and won the XR Audience Award at SXSW 2024. Adam has been an artist in residence at the Espronceda Institue in Barcelona and Onassis ONX in Athens.
