PROJECT TEAM
Lead Artist Yandell
Walton is based in
Naarm (Melbourne Australian), working at the intersection of environmental
art, emerging technologies, and embodied experience. Spending a lot of time growing on Kuku Yalanji
Country in the Daintree Rainforest has shaped her connection to forest
ecosystems. Her work emerges from deep site-responsive research, informed by
immersive field trips and residencies.
She creates large-scale, immersive installations that merge the digital and the physical, employing tools such as photogrammetry, motion capture, and real-time game engines. These works often incorporate live or recorded data, producing ecosystems that are dynamic, responsive, and evolving. Through these machinic collaborations, she seeks to decentre the human and imagine new ways of sensing, feeling, and co-creating with more-than-human agencies.
In 2023 she was selected for the Labverde program in the Amazon Rainforest and recieved the BigCi Environmental Art Prize in 2025.

Currently undertaking a PhD in Fine Art at the University of Melbourne,
her research explores cross-species embodiment and distributed agency within
computational media. Alongside this, she is engaged in a bespoke Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT) residency
in partnership with South East Water, developing new work that uses aquatic
data to generate shifting digital environments. her practice aims to challenge
human-centred perspectives and offer new modes of ecological awareness.
Her work has been commissioned, exhibited, and awarded nationally and internationally including ART+CLIMATE=CHANGE Festival (Australia), Light City Baltimore (USA), Digital Graffiti Florida (USA), International Symposium of Electronic Art (Australia).

Patty Preece is a sound artist, electronic music producer, and researcher exploring posthuman approaches to sound, immersivity, and performance ecologies. Their practice investigates how sound can articulate interconnections between human and more-than-human agencies through relational and material processes.
Working with field recordings, analogue synthesis, and spatial mixing, Patty creates performance ecosystems that merge the natural and the technological. Their work foregrounds listening as an embodied, ecological practice, engaging audiences in multisensory encounters that dissolve fixed boundaries between performer, environment, and sound itself.
