Artist Talk
Lawrence Lek in conversation with Erika Balsom and Jamie Sutcliffe: On Gaming and Virtual Media 

Goldsmiths CCA, London
Friday 12 December 2025, 7 - 8:30pm

To mark the closing of Lawrence Lek’s exhibition Life Before Automation, join Erika Balsom and Jamie Sutcliffe in a conversation with Lawrence Lek about the intersection of cinematic conventions, video games, and virtual media in his work.

Life Before Automation is the largest exhibition of Lek’s work to date and brings together multiple projects that span different spaces, genres, and modes of spectatorship. Viewed within the timeline of the exhibition, interconnections between works are made visible, as are developments in Lek’s aesthetic and narrative strategies across a decade of practice.
