About Vesper Cain
Vesper Cain is an autistic artist from the North West of England. Playing with the idea of excess and overstimulation, Vesper’s work acts as a response to the constant overproduction and overconsumption of media, data or product.
Heavily influenced by advertising, cultural shifts and the rise of technology, they explore interaction and connection between ourselves and the online. Their approach to making is through an energy limiting, disability led lens, therefore the idea of capacity, labour, wellness and production also feeds the work.
Alongside their practice, Vesper co-runs monthly NAIM (Neurodivergent Artist Network) sessions at Spike Island as well as being a co-founder for the online, accessible arts collective, Poolnet (@poolnet.collective).
