Jamie Allen

Reimagining how we make, share, and transform knowledge together.

Jamie Allen is an artist-researcher and organizer whose work intersects art, technology, and ecological inquiry. A a metaLAB member, Jamie’s practice is rooted in creating experimental platforms for public-making and knowledge production through multimedia, publishing, and collaborative projects. With a focus on how media and technological infrastructures shape our social and environmental realities, Jamie’s work draws on art and design practice as tools for engaging the public in critical dialogue and creative exploration.

Jamie’s research complements the lab’s emphasis on transdisciplinary experimentation and collaboration. His projects, which often take the form of multimedia installations, performances, and experimental publishing, aim to reimagine how knowledge is shared across artistic, scholarly, and technical domains. Jamie is particularly interested in developing open, inclusive platforms that foster collective participation, where collaboration and reciprocity are central to the creative process.

His ongoing work includes exploring the intersections of critical Anthropocene science, media materialism, and ecological systems, while creating collaborative constellations that connect artistic and research practices. Jamie’s engagement with metaLAB’s transdisciplinary ethos allows him to push the boundaries of how art and technology converge to address global challenges. Whether through exhibitions, public engagements, or experimental research, Jamie’s work aims to foster new ways of thinking about infrastructures of planetary care through creative collaboration.
