Adam Cole delves into the complexities of intimacy and identity in the age of AI, crafting immersive works that explore desire in the shadow of artificial representation. He integrates advanced AI technologies, film, and installation to challenge the normative fantasies embedded in AI networks, seeking more diverse, poetic, and sensual alternatives. He is currently based at the Creative Computing Institute, University of the Arts London, as a lecturer and doctoral candidate.

Cole’s work has been exhibited worldwide at prominent galleries, film festivals, and media arts conferences, including Tate Britain, SXSW Film Festival, Sheffield DocFest, Sonar+D Barcelona, Le Lieu Unique, Fondazione Pastificio Cerere, and SIGGRAPH Arts. His installations have been recognized by multiple prestigious awards, including the Lumen Prize, Aesthetica Art Prize, RE:Humanism prize, Asia Digital Art Award, and the XR Audience Award at SXSW 2024.

Adam Cole is an Onassis AiR Fellow for 2025/26 through the AiR/ONX Fellowships program.
