معرفی
Samuel Beilby is a sessional teacher in the Fine Art Department at the University of Western Australia's School of Design and a PhD candidate researching post-covid noise art. He also serves as a board member at Cool Change Contemporary, Gallery Associate at Sweet Pea Arts, and member of the experimental performance art collective mg in Boorloo (Perth).
His academic qualifications include:
- Master of Fine Arts (Research) from the University of Western Australia (awarded 2023)
- Bachelor of Arts (First Class Honours in Fine Art) from the University of Western Australia (awarded 2020)
Beilby's practice centers on noise, extraction processes, labor, and paranoia, combining historical research with audio-visual tools and diagrammatics to expose frictions between industrial, ecological, and social systems. His work employs field recordings, amplification, and new media to investigate underlying turbulence in automated environments like fulfillment centers, seeking human leverage within inhuman conditions.
His recent publications reveal a trajectory of noise-based artistic inquiry intersecting industrial automation, labor studies, and ecological critique. The research consistently positions noise as disruptive material against digital hegemony, with increasing focus on fulfillment centers and extraction epistemologies following the pandemic.
His scientific recognition includes:
- Laureate for International Symposium of Electronic Art 2023 (Paris)
- Artsource Industry Award (2019)
- Most Engaging Electronic Art at UWA's 'FAM18' exhibition (2018)
As a PhD candidate, Beilby does not supervise students but actively contributes to arts ecosystems through gallery management, curation, and collaborative projects. His community engagement manifests through Cool Change Contemporary's board membership, Sweet Pea Arts' gallery operations, and collective mg's experimental performances.
Beilby operates within dynamic networks including experimental art collective mg, Cool Change Contemporary's governance, and Sweet Pea Arts' programming team, fostering cross-disciplinary collaborations that bridge academic research with community-based arts practice in Western Australia.
