Frederick Bulbeck


11 September 2025–05 October 2025

As part of STRAY VOLTAGE, my work aims to create an atmosphere of tension and ambiguity using readymade 3D avatars, sound design and photogrammetry. Guiding this atmosphere are small vignettes where all the characters interact with each other using their “gaze”. Specifically, the brief moments between the characters are reminiscent of awkward interactions and judgmental looks all emphasised by the fractured spaces of 3D scanned rooms and unusual sounds from synthesizers.

  • Frederick Bulbeck is an artist whose work is about the remixing and recontextualising of objects, figures and sounds through different materials and programs. Fred blurs the lines between maturity and juvenility to create ambiguity and uneasiness. Exploring the idea of human interaction and digital nausea through his animations of digital actors called “Metahumans”, Fred restricts their high-end capabilities of these readymade avatars by manually keyframing their movements as they interact with one another.These interactions are in the environment of distorted 3D scans of rooms in which photogrammetry renders images and wraps them into a 3D Mesh. Fred’s work ultimately contemplates and mirrors the growing state of technology and our response to its incline.
