Yandell Walton is an Australian artist working with moving image, computer generated imagery and installation. She has become recognised for immersive works that merge the actual and virtual to investigate notions of impermanence, interrogating shifting environments caused by climate change. She takes an experimental approach to practice, constantly challenging conventional modes, and interrogating the potential of technology, collaboration, & spatial contexts to seek transformative experiences. Her distinct aesthetic and interest in innovative practice are underpinned by a deep concern with contemporary ideas which aim to shift audiences thinking, inviting them to consider the Anthropocene from various perspectives. Driven by emotional responses to the climate crisis, her recent research investigates ecological shifts in landscape due to human impact.

Through responding to site, works have been situated within the natural landscape, in urban contexts and untraditional gallery spaces to investigate histories, speculative futures and our connection to land and site. She is a pioneer in her field, consistently challenging the use of technology within her production and presentation. She was recently selected for the Labverde program in the Amazon Rainforest informing major new projects throughout 2022 and 2023.  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).
