Hello


Neale is particularly interested in creating conflict between what enters the machine and what leaves it. 

By manipulating data to create ambiguities within the certainties of the digital realm, it’s possible to breed uncertainty from the usually reassuring definite of binary data, letting repetition and replication take form as a rhythm from the space in-between the known and unknown.

His work crosses a variety of mediums from sound and sculpture to image and video. Frequently site specific, his work seeks and remoulds data into tangible outcomes.
