Television Alchemy

Nicola McEvoy is a transdisciplinary artist who works across mediums, including analogue/digital video, cameraless photography, textiles and ceramics. She is a graduate of the Royal College of Art and Goldsmiths.

Her practice-based research, ‘Television Alchemy’, investigates the liquid materiality of CRT TV. Following the radical approach of chaos magicians, she is interested in how critical theory can inform a path of mysticism that aims to disrupt the hegemony of capitalist realism — unveiling esoteric realities and alternative modes of being: divine, feminine, disruptive. She looks at the connections between moving image, dream and infant consciousness as they emerge from the primordial waters of chaos. Getting her first TV off the street, Nicola considers her practice to be situated within a working-class ontology and epistemology.

As an artist educator and facilitator, she works with children and young people, as well as adults with learning disabilities.

At the thresholds of consciousness mercurial revolution takes place.
