Critically questioning the environmental impacts of consumer electronics and scientific sensing practices, his work challenges the viability of addressing ecological collapse through extractive and economic logics.

Much of Stephen’s recent work was made alongside scientific researchers. He has collaborated with geophysicists prospecting for lithium, and held an Earth Art Fellowship with volcanologists studying magma crystallisation with X-rays.

Stephen is currently Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Winchester School of Art where he leads the MA Fine Art course. He is also a founding co-director of Critical Infrastructures and Image Politics reasearch group.
