Eliott Johnson was born in San Francisco in 1987 and studied at Leeds College of Art between 2005 and 2006 and then at Central St Martins College of Art & Design from 2006 to 2009.

He has recently been included in: Spacecraft, Stoke Newington Library, London; Threads of Sincerity, St Pancras Church, London; Futurefilm, Camden Arts Centre, London; One Foot Cow @ Artful Festival, New Cross Inn, London.

Johnson’s practice is concerned with establishing otherwise veiled relationships between architecture, technology and cultural identity. He primarily uses computer modelling and rendering tools as a platform to explore moments of cultural transition and crossover. He views computer generated imagery – caught as it is between a hobbyist and industrial activity – as an instance of this, where two seemingly disparate applications cross into each other, making the distinction between play and work difficult to discern. These tensions form the backdrop to a practice concerned with how the reproduction and representation of objects and architecture can alter how we perceive and define both culture and our relationship to it.
