Ella Barclay (B.1981 Bendigo) creates messy multimedia video installations that engage with the transfixing, impulsive and intuitive behaviours brought about by new technologies.

In 2007 she was an active member of the international collective of artists and programmers FutureAcademy StudioLab, with whom she conducted exhibitions and symposia in Edinburgh, Tokyo, Akiyoshidai and for the Documenta 12 Magazines project in Kassel.
