Participation

In Devlin’s sculptural installations, audiences encounter mirrored mazes, model cities, and choral soundscapes that highlight the importance of community and biodiversity. Often, the audience starts in a small cinema and passes through the screen into an unfolding narrative. Devlin also harnesses the power of collective poetry, asking participants to donate words to artificial intelligence algorithms that generate poems in public spaces. Through these works, Devlin adapts her craft to address the climate and civilizational crises guiding the future of her practice.

Accompanying the works are Devlin’s descriptions of her process.
