Rel Pham is a Naarm/Melbourne-based artist known for a strong use of electric, vibrant colours and a penchant for surrealism. Drawing upon old world fables and rituals for thematic inspiration, Pham explores the interconnected nature of our current physical and digital realities through screen-based video, animation and installation. Pham creates hybrid worlds, rendering traditional scenes of Cao Dai temples and Western classical art in an illuminated palette of neon PC coolant fluid and radiant LED lights. He flattens our past, present and future to demystify the invisible numbers that surround everyday life, exposing the programmed spectres haunting our data through cautionary tales of being intrinsically connected online.

Pham has presented the solo exhibitions and commissions HYPERTHREAD, The National Communication Museum (2024), TEMPLE, NGV Australia (2023), CACHE (4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art (2023), TORRENT, The Bridge, Kingston (2022); Electric Dirge, 4A Digital, 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art (2021)

Pham has also worked as a video designer in collaboration with artists Amrita Hepi – Liable (NGV Triennial 2024), Rainbow Chan – The Bridal Lament, Mindy Meng Wang & Monica Lim, Opera For The Dead (Asiatopa 2025)

Elliot Gibson is a multimedia artist working within a technology-led practice that incorporates audio-visual, performance, and video work. Their practice explores the relationship between humans and technology, both physically and emotionally. They examine how emerging technologies—and their saturation in everyday life—inevitably shape and develop this relationship. Additionally, their work delves into the effects of technology and the digital realm on their gender identity, considering how the internet’s anonymity and detachment from the physical world create space for the exploration of fluidity in their life.
