Emma Wallbanks is a New Zealand multi-disciplinary artist based in Ōtautahi.

With a rebellious sensibility, the work often encourages chaos, cropped and jutted information depict skewed emotions, thwarted translations of traditional media and vernacular histories.

Through her video installations Wallbanks challenges the code of traditional systems, she does this through compressing and layering both outsourced and original imagery (moving and still) into a web or loop of trashed video content. Her work offers the audience an emotive deep dive into the digital shift, where analogue media is uncomfortably mated with digital content, through a pushing and pulling of 'at odds' media.
