Patrick Amadon

Patrick Amadon is a digital artist who merges technology with art to explore themes of surveillance, privacy, and the impact of data on society
Amazon began creating glitch art over a decade ago, sharing work on Tumblr alongside peers like XCOPY and Max Capacity. His artwork aims to stir things up in the real world, as seen with his piece "NO RIOTERS" displayed on a Hong Kong billboard in 2023, which flashed the names of jailed pro-democracy activists.Amadon believes digital art has the power to impact more people than physical art, with the ability to reach a global audience seamlessly. He considers AI a powerful tool for artists but cautions against anthropomorphizing it as an intelligent collaborator
In 2023, Amadon withdrew his artwork from Sotheby's "Natively Digital: Glitch-ism" auction due to the lack of representation of female-identifying artists in the glitch art movement. His recent "Sequence" series explores AI interpretation of images through a system called Convolutional Neural Network, serving as a warning about a potential dystopian AI future
Amadon's work often incorporates elements of social commentary and political messaging, leveraging the global reach and impact of digital art to provoke discussion and debate around important issues
