Isaac Clarke

I am currently a PhD candidate in Computational Media and Arts at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). I will be defending my thesis in Summer 2026.

My interests are in contemporary art, alien intelligences, and artists making their own tools.

Recent work can be found on my github.
