April Phillips

April Phillips (b. 1983, Paddington, NSW) is a Wiradjuri–Scottish woman of the Galari/Kalari peoples, living and working on Yuin Country, South Coast, NSW. Her practice is grounded in futurism and media arts, spanning moving image, printmaking, illustration, 3D assets, AR research and photogrammetry. Drawing equally on analogue processes and emergent technologies, Phillips explores relationality, place and poetic computation, often leading collaborative teams to realise ambitious, interdisciplinary projects. She is the inaugural recipient of the boorda yeyi Immersive Arts Commission for Under Waters, created in collaboration with Friends with Computers.
