In her work, Gill Baldwin studies our relationship with the artificial. Zooming in on technology, machinery, intelligence, and the particularities of on- and offline worlds, Baldwin carefully maps potential repercussions and consequences of the ever-transforming kinship between humans and (technologic) artificiality; human made objects and phenomena on the verge of becoming autonomous. Latest exhibitions include the Van Gogh Museum (2022) and V2 Lab for Unstable Media (2021). Her research has been recognized by the Piet Zwart Institute Alumni Award and in 2019 she received the Nova Scotia Talent Trust Young Artist of Excellence Award. She was an artist in residence at the HCA Community of Art at Roodkapje in Rotterdam for 2020-2021.

Participant School for Multispecies Knowledges
The School for MultiSpecies Knowledges is a multi-year project organized by Zone2Source with Irina Shapiro of Open Set. Together with participants and audiences, the School explores new learning environments to rethink our relationship with other organisms and its implications for how we live together. I am a current participant, developing a project around the idea exploring what if the species of park could respond back to negative online reviews.
BARTALK
I was invited to give a short artist talk about my practice and visiting nature online during BARTALK. BARTALK is a multidisciplinary lecture/performance/storytelling series that takes place in different bars in The Hague. Each BARTALK public event is themed and consists of four 15 minute presentations by guests from different backgrounds.
Bliss
In my first solo exhibition I created an artificial world modeled after the famous Windows desktop background image. Bliss presents a natural world that is replicated, reproduced and fetishized until a mere mockery is left. The exhibition is a reflection on human-made materials behaving surprisingly, badly, and unexpectedly in order to produce an illusion of authenticity. Bliss is the domestication of the sublime, the myth of the natural and the relentless pursuit of the idea of wilderness.
V2 Summer Sessions Residency
The Summer Sessions are short-term international art and technology residencies for emerging artists and designers. For eight weeks I was hosted by V2_Lab for Unstable Media. I developed and produced the work Rolling Landscapes, and the project was presented during a short presentation talk and question and answer period from an audience.
