معرفی
Jol Thoms is a Studio Lecturer at Goldsmiths, University of London, within the Department of Art. His practice spans art, sound design, and research, focusing on transdisciplinary approaches that merge environmental humanities, quantum field theory, and Indigenous knowledge systems with creative ethics.
Research Interests: Thoms investigates sentient landscapes and ethical engagement with non-human entities. His work bridges Western scientific frameworks with mysticism, non-duality, and feminist anti-colonial science studies, often involving fieldwork in remote environments like the Pacific Ocean and dark matter laboratories. He advocates for radical pluralities of knowledge practices to address anthropocentric exploitation.
Selected Publications: His notable works include Doubling Down on Wicked Problems (2022), which explores oceanic ArtScience collaborations, and Diffractive Aesthetics & Holographic Literacies (2021), which integrates quantum physics with artistic critique. He also contributed to The Anthropocene Review (2017) and The Live Creature and Ethereal Things (2018).
Scientific Awards:
- MERU Art*Science Award Ed. IV (2016)
Grants: Thoms received multiple Project to Realization Grants from the Canada Council for the Arts (2021, 2022) and a Creating Earth Futures Grant (2018) from Royal Holloway University's Centre for the GeoHumanities.
Exhibitions & Collaborations: His projects include Radio Amnion, which transmits sound to the Pacific Ocean during full moons, and participation in the Drift: Art and Dark Matter residency (2020-2022). He has exhibited globally, including at the Venice Biennale (2024), McaM Shanghai (2023), and RADIUS Centre for Contemporary Art and Ecology (2023).
