RACHY MCEWAN


Rachy McEwan is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher based in London. In 2020, she graduated with First Class Honors in a Bachelor of Fine Art in Painting and Printmaking from The Glasgow School of Art, where she was awarded the RSA New Contemporaries Award. More recently, she completed a Master's in Material Futures at UAL: Central Saint Martins with Distinction and was shortlisted for the Maison/0 LVMH Maison Award.

Rachy challenges traditional approaches to human perception through her work, which explores the interconnections between technology and environmental, political, and societal issues. By bridging the natural, artificial, and non-human worlds, she collaborates across disciplines such as engineering, arboriculture, and science to reshape our relationships with the land and more-than-human entities.

Her research and techno-sensual artistic practices foster new dialogues in cognition and machine learning. She introduces innovative concepts like the sensorial ecology of intelligence, the machine microbiome, machine ecosystems, and biological machines.

Rachy McEwan is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher based in London. In 2020, she graduated with a First Class Bachelor of Fine Art in Painting and Printmaking from The Glasgow School of Art, winning the RSA New Contemporaries Award. Recently, she earned a Distinction in her Master's in Material Futures at UAL: Central Saint Martins and was shortlisted for the Maison/0 LVMH Maison Award.

Rachy challenges traditional approaches to human perception, infusing her work with humour and absurdity. She explores how technology and art-making can be tools for rethinking our relationships with the land and the more-than-human world, intertwining environmental concerns with the political economy. Her research and techno-sensual artistic exploration open new discourses in cognition and machine learning, introducing concepts such as the sensorial ecology of intelligence, the machine microbiome, machine ecosystems, and biological machines.

Maintaining a practice focused on co-subjectivity, Rachy’s projects involve collaborations with engineers, arborists, scientists, perfumers, bacteria, fungi, and robots.
