“Our relatively new collaborative practice is a natural progression and also a distinct extension of our independent practices, picking up on shared areas of interest around sound and kinetic sculpture and extending them in ways that are new to both of us. As collaborators the sound we are interested in is generated by playful pseudo scientific intervention between components and their original purpose.”

Ali Bramwell is a practicing artist, born in Auckland New Zealand.

Research interests include a particular interest in public space and the ethical and political interfaces that art produces and reveals when it is outside the usual gallery contexts. A related area of research interest is in performance; from a phenomenological perspective that thinks about personal subjectivity and affect, as well as broader political-strategic
potentials. With a strong preference for temporary and ephemeral modes her work often has a kinetic quality or is activated by performance and audience involvement.

She has been working in the feilds of sculpture, installation and performance since 2000 producing exhibitions and public projects internationally. Projects include permanent public sculpture works in Germany and Georgia, and various temporary site works and exhibitions in Japan, China, The Netherlands, Sweden, Slovenia, Bosnia, Australia, South Korea and New Zealand. She earned a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Dunedin School of Art at Otago Polytechnic, New Zealand in 2001.
