Gibney, Adam

Adam Gibney is a Dublin based artist who engages with sound, electronics and sculpture as a means to unravel the

impossibilities in understanding key elements of our objective reality.

His practice often deals with the philosophical implications of knowledge generated by Science and Philosophy and

their points of intersection. The work grapples with parts of knowledge generated by Modern Physics that are hard

to imagine or convey in words as certain theories or principles are non-intuitive. He is interested in how our symbolic

descriptions of reality, even the axiomatic, have proven to be only temporary and tentative. Sound-manipulation,

electronic design and computer programming act as catalyst for digesting the philosophical conundrums that his

practice investigates. To delve into the ambiguous nature of the language we use to describe these inherently

uncertain fields, he creates generative code and installation.

Through the programming of interactive code, which embodies scientific principles and quandaries, he aims to

overcome the difficulties of uncovering fundamental truths about the world through the abstract manipulations of

words and concepts.
