About the Artist
Devin Wilson is a queer interdisciplinary artist, curator, and writer. Devin is currently a first-year visual arts MFA candidate at the University of California, Irvine. Their work focuses on the intersection of queerness and technology in science fiction to imagine alternate possibilities of the future. Devin states that “as a genre, speculative fiction is inherently queer using imagery that goes beyond binaries and presents the post-human body. These non-human identities present queer because they do not conform to cis-heteronormative ideologies as they are usually constructed through hybridization.”
