Artist Announcement // @alicebucknell will be our seventh commission at 17 Little Portland Street, launching Autumn 2026.
🕹
Alice Bucknell is an artist, writer and educator based in Los Angeles. Their work explores the
affective dimensions of video games as interfaces for understanding complex systems,
relationships, and forms of knowledge. Bucknell is interested in the ecological dimensions of
play as an embodied technology that dissolves binaries between human and nonhuman, natural and synthetic intelligence, and self vs world. They have exhibited internationally. A recipient of the 2025 Creative Capital Award and former CERN/CC resident, they teach world-building, game design and the philosophies of technology at SCI-Arc and UCLA (Los Angeles).
