Trevor Jones is a Canadian-born artist based in Scotland. He graduated with First Class Honours from the five-year MA (Hons) Fine Art programme at Edinburgh College of Art. His practice combines traditional painting with new technologies, evolving from early experiments with QR codes and augmented reality through to blockchain, digital art and, more recently, AI, while remaining rooted in the physical object and the long tradition of painting.
His current body of work, EXPOS3D, explores our increasingly complex relationship with technology and the influence it has over our lives. Religious imagery and art history sit alongside contemporary culture, opening up questions around surveillance, faith and personal agency. Religion has long provided a way of confronting questions beyond our understanding and considering our place in the world. Jones uses Christian iconography to consider how machines and AI are changing areas of life once understood through human relationships and faith.
His work avoids simple conclusions about whether these changes are good or bad. It considers what may be gained or lost as machines become more deeply embedded in everyday life, and where we might choose to draw the boundaries.
