Robin Leverton (b. 1995, UK) is a Croydon-based artist, curator, technologist, and researcher. His work explores the materiality and ontology of artificial intelligence, particularly in relation to identity, embodiment, and agency. His practice spans sculpture, painting, printmaking, and installation, integrating cutting edge technologies into traditional arts practices.

Robin is part of the computational arts collective _threadsafe where he is researching “Topology” as a framework for artistic investigations into the application of computing as a medium for intersectional creativity.

Leverton studied Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art (2014-17) and Computational Arts at Goldsmiths University (2021-23) and his work has been exhibited in shows across London, including Tate Modern, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Nunnery Gallery, The British Computer Society, Coleccion Solo, Algha Works, Hypha Studios, Arthub Studios, and GX Gallery. He has curated shows as part of _threadsafe, and co-curates a yearly exhibition “The Apartment” in a Bermondsey residential space.

Robin hosts the Stochastic Pigeon Podcast, and has worked professionally as a digital fabricator, product designer, and programmer.

I build and investigate AI systems and our relationships to them. Through installations I create and modify systems capturing and comparing data from viewers, forging computational relationships between identities that have never mingled. With printmaking and the 2D image, I wish to engage with the falsity that images present, the fallacies in our trust in them, and highlight the empathic responses we have, which we use to anthropomorphise computational systems. And through my sculpture I am investigating my own image, augmenting new identities and consciousnesses in opposition to, and collaboration with “Artificial” intelligence.

Computing enables me to devise interactive installations and provide the inflection point for my images and sculptures. I utilise the computer to be my co-creator, facilitating my investigation of AI and contemporary productive forces, creating a synthesis of aesthetic strategy and mechanism that invokes a sympathy with these automative methods that take a larger and larger slice of our everyday consciousness.
