Charlie Tweed is a media artist and researcher working across video, text, digital media and performance, developing works that interrogate the relation between human technologies and the earth, considering notions of control, extraction, waste and more than human intelligence. In his work, he employs strategies of re-appropriation and speculative fiction, often taking on  personas of anonymous collectives and hybrid machines, to outline speculative plans for future forms of technology and more than human relations. 

He has an MA in Electronic Media, an MFA in Art Practice from Goldsmiths College, London and a PhD in Art, he is the Subject Leader of Art at Bath School of Art, Film and Media. He has exhibited his works internationally with solo shows at The Stanley Picker Gallery, London; Spike Island, Bristol; Animate Projects, London and Aspex Portsmouth.
