Helena Hamilton is a Belfast-based visual and sound artist whose practice spans installation, performance, sculpture, drawing, and digital media. Working between physical and digital environments, she explores how sound, image, and material processes can be reconfigured through digital translation while retaining qualities of tactility, contingency, and liveness.

Her process often begins with everyday gestures, drawing or acts of repetition, which are transformed through technologies such as 3D scanning, game engines, or interactive systems. This approach creates quiet but charged spaces where perception and attention are subtly heightened, inviting audiences to experience shifts between the familiar and the abstract.

Currently completing a PhD at the Sonic Arts Research Centre, Helena experiments with hybrid forms that challenge traditional boundaries. Recent exhibitions include Digital in Berlin (2024) and solo exhibition 'Virtual Matter [Ambient]' at the Naughton Gallery Belfast (2022).
