Jackson Farley is a multidisciplinary artist and curator based in Sydney. His practice intertwines narrative, humour and digital image-making to expose the absurdities of archaic power structures - colonial, religious, and gendered alike. Using digital media, photography, collage, AI and 3D methodologies, Farley’s work balances parody with sentiment, fragmenting and reassembling accepted forms to question art, history, and contemporary mythmaking.

Farley completed a BA Visual Arts at Sydney College of the Arts, receiving University Awards for both Drawing and Print Media. He has undertaken residencies at the China Cultural Centre in Chengdu, City of Sydney’s Creative Live/Work program, and been a finalist in the Blake Prize, The Churchie Emerging Art Award, and the Fauvette Loureiro Memorial Travel Scholarship. In 2024 he was a finalist in the Sydney Contemporary MA Art Prize, and in 2025 made his international art fair debut at Paris Photo with THIS IS NO FANTASY, where his presentation was named one of the Top 10 Booths by Beaux Arts magazine.

During his residency Farley will merge digital and material practices, translating AI-generated and 3D-rendered compositions into woven form. Incorporating video works of rendered landscapes, he aims to locate the midpoint between the hyper-fake and the hyper-real - where simulated worlds and tactile craft converge into something both human and uncanny.
