>> The droid behind the machines…

Dominic Elvin is one of the most talented technological artists of our time, with a vision light years ahead of what most people could imagine. His artwork has been compared to a 21st Century Giger, with added sex and circuitry. He creates sculptural forms and art that physically merge the concepts of futurists such as William Gibson and Isaac Asimov.

Science fiction is fast merging into science theory, and ideas many once thought impossible are now a real part of our everyday lives. Everything seems to be going quantum. With advances in the human genome project, genetic engineering, neuromorphing, cloning… we are in an age of scientific discovery.

Robotics, artificial intelligence, quantum-DNA computing and nanotechnology are crossing over with research in bionics, remote implants, bio computers and biometrics to create new areas of fusion between biological and technological sciences.

We are experiencing incredible changes in our evolution. Is humanity evolving fast enough to understand and use this knowledge wisely?

The work of Dominic Elvin is a culmination of ten years specialising in futurist art and design, and draws a lot of inspiration from the fascinating world of frontier sciences. Dominic recreates these ideas and interprets them in three dimensional form by deconstructing and recycling old hardware from PC’s, house appliances, industrial machinery and materials then reconfigures them into sculptural concepts of the future. Building movement and lighting systems in to them enhances a sense of function and life.

Since 1994, Dominic has worked in many diverse areas, from club décor, performance art, fashion shows and window displays, to music videos, graphic design, installation art, interior design, and technical design.

Dominic is constantly exploring different ideas and mediums to express his creativity and is experimenting with photography/digital art, film shorts, performance art, also with sound and sensors in his android sculptures in order to make his work more interactive.
