Dennis Dizon (Philippines/Spain) is a research-based artist and writer. Their practice interrogates intersections of technology and ecology, placing value and care on research and methodology. Through intertextual, transmedia and discursive practices, they play with rhetoric, humour and irony, applying queer relationalities and de-colonial practices through poetics and affective attachments.
At Delfina, they aim to expand their research at the intersections of ecological affect and networked media with “thanatechnology.” Under existing conditions of extreme weathers and fast-changing climates, the research explores the future of artificially-intelligent “griefbots,” landing where the epidemic of loneliness, fantasies of immortality and resurrection, advancing planetary-scale technologies, and the supranatural meet.
Dennis has contributed to Flora Fantastic: From Orchidelirium to Eco-Critical Contemporary Art (eds. Apostol and Thomas; Routledge, 2024), CARPARK (Berlin, 2023), Immerse! at Tallinna Kunstihoone (Tallinn, 2023), a model, a map, a fiction at transmediale (Berlin, 2023), the Weather Engines Symposium at Onassis Stegi (Athens, 2022) along with an artist’s intervention in Neural (Issue 71: Strange Weathers, Winter 2022), and and yet the air was still stirring at Círculo de Bellas Artes for La Fundación Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Madrid, 2021), among others.
Dennis holds a Master of Research degree in Advanced Practices with a concentration in Contemporary Art History from Goldsmiths, University of London (UK), with distinction.
They are currently based in Barcelona, Spain.
