V Barratt (they/them) identifies as a non-binary trans-(disciplinary/feminist) artist. V is a white settler living on indigenous land—KaurnaYerta/the Adelaide Plains—in so-called Australia.

V has been working in the digital realm, bootstrapping the future, for over 30 years and has a deep and abiding interest in Mary Beth Dempster’s idea of sympoiesis, the act of “making-with” in open systems of production and the dissolution of artificial boundaries between disciplines, individuals and all other beings. V values co-creation above all other production modalities, and as a neurodivergent cryptoqueer elder and soil fancier, honours all who are enmeshed in creative pursuits with them—trans-generationally, trans-materially, trans-temporally.
