Digitalism is more than an exhibition—it is defining a moment in art history.
By presenting some of the best artists (‘digitalists’) working at the forefront of art and technology today, we are formally recognising Digitalism as a distinct new art movement, sitting alongside
the very best of Modern British and Contemporary traditional art at the British Art Fair.
This exhibition serves as a critical platform to contextualise and codify Digitalism, providing a narrative that traces its development and highlights its cultural significance. Through this exhibition, we aim to cement Digitalism’s place within the broader history of art, ensuring that its contributions are acknowledged and studied for generations to come.

Jacqui Kenny















Jacqui Kenny is a New Zealand artist based in the UK, working at the intersection of art and technology. Drawing from her extensive background in the film and digital industries, she brings a multilayered perspective to her creative practice.

In 2016, Jacqui launched The Agoraphobic Traveller, a project that originated on Instagram as @streetview. portraits. It features a collection of surreal imagery captured from remote locations via Google Street View. Initially conceived as an escape from her agoraphobia, The Agoraphobic Traveller
quickly gained a massive following and expanded beyond digital, evolving into collaborations with charities, Christie’s auction house, and brands including Google, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton.

Jacqui’s work has been featured in Visual Culture by MIT Press, A Chronology of Photography by Thames & Hudson, and covered by hundreds of media outlets, including BBC, Vogue, The New Yorker, National
Geographic, and Wired (cover feature). One of the highlights of her career was a solo exhibition in Soho, New York under the patronage of Google. In 2021, the artist released an experimental art publication Many Nights.

Since 2020, Jacqui has been developing Argleton Lane, a post-photographic project that builds on her personal journey of self-discovery and liberation from anxiety and agoraphobia. She has used her vast archive of curated Street View images to generate entirely new worlds utilising machine learning and building AI-trained models. She has released three sold-out NFT collections to date: Homes of Argleton Lane, Flora of Argleton Lane in collaboration with Obscura, and Observations of Argleton Lane in
partnership with Fellowship.

Jacqui is currently working on a new AI-assisted collection that introduces characters to the Argleton Lane universe. The first instalment is a self-portrait series, Safety Behaviours, presenting poetic interpretations of the artist’s experiences navigating agoraphobia.
