Joey Holder is an artist whose work interrogates the accelerating datafication of the natural world and its impact on how life is understood, imagined, and valued. Working at the intersections of art, ecology, and computation, she creates immersive multimedia installations and interfaces that engage with the infrastructures of science and technology, biological research, artificial intelligence, and digital networks, while drawing on myth, magic, and speculative cosmologies.

Holder's projects often emerge through collaborations with researchers including marine biologists, genetic scientists, behavioral psychologists, philosophers, and investigative journalists, unfolding into installations, videos, websites, pseudo-corporations, and generative AI experiments. Her practice operates in terrain where immersive systems, mythic archetypes, and digital architectures bleed into lived experience, questioning how knowledge systems shape perception and reshape how worlds are imagined and inhabited.
Holder has exhibited internationally at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, Design Museum London, Transmediale (Berlin), and the Venice, Sydney, Athens, Ljubljana, Wuhan, Moscow, and Beijing biennales. She directs SPUR, an online platform supporting digital art, and Chaos Magic, a Nottingham-based project space. She has been nominated for the Jarman Award (2018, 2020, 2023), the Arts Foundation Award, the Frieze Artist Award (2024), and the LG Guggenheim Award (2026). She was featured in Apollo Magazine's "40 Under 40" for contributions to art and technology. Her work has been covered in The New York Times, Rhizome, The Guardian, Frieze, Artforum, Art Monthly, Flash Art, and Elephant.
