About the Artist
Elise Racine
Elise Racine is an award-winning artist, scholar, and activist based in Washington DC, whose multidisciplinary practice spans photography, digital art, collage, mixed media, video art, sculpture, and poetry. Her work inhabits the liminal between visibility and concealment, exploring how unseen forces shape our lived experiences and the ethereal digital infrastructures governing modern society. This exploration of transitional states and liminal spaces directly aligns with Fractured Horizons' examination of the space between industrial legacy and posthuman futures.
Drawing from her lived experience as a queer woman, her cross-media investigations offer nuanced perspectives on how digital systems concentrate power while distributing harms to marginalized populations. Key themes in her work include vulnerability, fragility, endurance, equity, representation, visibility, identity, and belonging—creating a powerful dialogue with the exhibition's "Fractured Narratives" theme by capturing tensions between technological nostalgia and future anxiety.
As founder and creative director of de PALOMA and a founding member of Oxford University's Arts, Health and Ethics Collective, Elise integrates artistic experimentation with academic inquiry to translate complex concepts into accessible experiences. Her practice deliberately navigates the boundary between human-centered environments and technological ecologies, manifesting the "Horizons of the Posthuman City" by visualizing spaces where human centrality gives way to systems shaped by technology. Through layered abstractions and manipulated perspectives, she creates spectral distortions that challenge perceptual certainties, inviting viewers to confront both industrial legacies and speculative futures.
