Lewis Bush works across media and to visualise the workings and interactions of powerful agents, organisations, and practices. Born in London, he studied history, worked as a researcher for the United Nations, and then studied documentary photography before starting to develop his own projects from 2012.
His works explore different forms of contemporary power and in particular is concerned with the ways that they interact. These have included projects on the destructive impact of property speculation and redevelopment on his home city of London, to the systemic inequalities of the art world. Recent projects include Shadows of the State. He is currently working on two projects; WvB which examines erased histories of space exploration, and Ways of Seeing Algorithmically, which uses augmented reality to reveal the politics of computer vision systems. Bush’s books and prints are held in private and institutional collections including The Tate Library (UK), The Museum of London (UK), The Victoria & Albert Museum Library (UK), and Wende Museum (USA).
Bush has written extensively on photography for a range of print and web titles. Since 2011 he has run Disphotic, a blog on photography and visual culture. Bush is lecturer on the MA and BA (Hons) Photojournalism and Documentary Photography courses at London College of Communication, and a visiting tutor at other institutions.

This talk proposes a 'coming to know' via the art of music. Discussing works developed as artist-in-residence at the European Space Agency (ESA), California Academy of Sciences (CalAcademy) and the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), in collaboration with scientists from such diverse fields as forest canopy ecology, quantum physics, evolutionary genetics and mathematical biology, Roth explores the idea that music has demonstrable potential to operate as an interrogative medium analogous to words, data or visual media.
Nick Roth is a saxophonist, composer, producer and educator.
He was artist-in-residence at the Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris in 2019.
