Cameron Dodds is an artist, researcher, and creativity consultant working at the intersection of experimental art, psychoanalytic theory, and research. His work explores fictioning-as-method and the role of the ‘weird’ in lived creative practices, examining how these frameworks shape meaning-making, identity, and selfhood in contemporary society. He is the founder of the Haunted Network Research Initiative, an open-ended interdisciplinary, practice-led research project that interrogates the connections between magic, technology, the more-than-human body, and contemporary artistic anxieties. Alongside his research, Dodds writes and performs music and performance art internationally, making work that is simultaneously absurd, unsettling, humorous, disgusting, tearful, and visceral. He regularly lectures on composition, creativity, and philopshy at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the University of West London, and has presented his research at institutions including the Jung Club (London), KASK (Ghent), and ZHdK (Zurich). He holds a PhD in Composition from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and has recently finished his debut novel, a maximalist exploration of English village greens, urination magic, mathematics, aliens, folk traditions, hauntings, internet speeds, and neuromancy.
