Jodie Galvin is a visual artist exploring the intersection of fine art, access and technology. Working primarily with mediums of analogue photography, painting and interactive live projections, Jodie’s practice is heavily informed by her
symbiotic relationship with computer vision as assistive technology to accomodate for blindness caused by a rare genetic dislocation of the optic lens.
Her current body of work casts its gaze on the relationship between sight, the
abstraction of memory and human connection in an increasingly digitized world.
Informed by Hito Steyerl’s 2025 text ‘Medium Hot: Images In The Age of Heat’, She examines how the rise of AI and algorithmic machine vision surveillance are manipulating the conditions of perception and visibility, reshaping the trust we have in what we see and cannot fully see.
In the summer of 2024, Jodie was the first patient in Ireland to successfully
recieve a specialised intraocular lens implant procedure, manipulating her
conditons of vision and allowing her to see for the first time.
