Jamie Allen is a cultural organiser occupied with grounded research across media, infrastructure, and ecological practice. His work explores metabolic and infrastructural intimacies in (post-)industrial landscapes—how knowledge, energy, and technologies shape the ways we live, sense, and relate. Through technopoetics and experimental formats, events, and other things, he develops collaborative tools, representations, and situations that make critical infrastructure more tangible, intimate, and open to collective reflection. His practice brings together artistic, technical, and social processes, creating spaces where knowledge is performed, shared, and reworked through care, curiosity, and conviviality.
He lives in Europe and is Senior Researcher and Principal at the metaLab Basel.
