About me
| Short Bio | I’m Megan Watson, a visual artist from the North East UK. Inspired by cyberculture theories, such as posthumanism, cyborg ontology, and glitch feminism I use sci-fi themes to illustrate my perspective as a queer woman. Natural AI is the terminology I use to describe the ideology of my work, the amalgamation of nature, technology, and humanity is a criticism of anthropocentrism and a celebration of the things that unite us.
