How does digital culture shape female identity and growing up online?⁠
⁠
arebyte presents Soft Bodies, Cold Machines, a solo exhibition by artist Ambie Drew [@ambiedrew] ⁠
⁠
Through newly commissioned interactive installations and film, the artist interrogates what it means to grow up online in a world shaped by targeted advertising and AI-generated imagery, confronting the impossibility of disentangling oneself from our curated digital persona.⁠
⁠
To create this new body of work, Ambie purchased and tested popular beauty gadgets promoted to her through social media ads. The artworks that emerge from this process reflect both the physical and psychological impact of living amongst a constant stream of images and consumption.⁠

Soft Bodies, Cold Machines is a glitchy fever dream of Y2K nostalgia, beauty rituals, internet identity and digital melancholy. where bedroom culture, vanity and machine collapse into one unstable archive.

pink, frilly, satin excess
Vintage ephemera, cosmetic apparatus and posthuman bodies stitch together into a world that feels both comforting and unsettling.

the world unfolds across interactive installations, sculpture, text and film

free exhibition at arebyte digital art centre, a 2 minute walk from Camden Road tube station running until 2nd August

Soft Bodies, Cold Machines is an immersive exhibition by british artist @ambiedrew exploring girlhood, internet culture, Al and digital nostalgia through film and interactive installation.

Transforming the gallery into a dreamlike teenage bedroom, the exhibition starts playful and nostalgic before revealing something far more unsettling beneath the surface.

⁠
Ambie Drew (b. 1996) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Worcester. Her practice interrogates how digital consumerism and artificial intelligence shape the construction of gender and female identity online. Working across moving image, sculptural installation, and text, Ambie adopts a hyperfeminised alter ego to explore the consequences of living in a heavily mediated world where the physical and digital exist in constant flux. Incorporating obsolete technologies, her work reflects on how intimacy, memory, and reality are entangled with internet culture and machine-driven desire.⁠
⁠
Alex Quicho is a theorist based in London. Her practice incorporates critical writing, performative lectures, and moving images to develop novel ways of understanding life within technological systems. She is the author of Girl Intelligence (2025, Aksioma) and Small Gods (2021, Zero Books). ⁠
⁠
Giuli Dal Lago is a London-based sound artist and performer who works at the intersection of sound and performance art. Giuli reclaims the body as a site of political struggle—a space for advocating gender identity and advancing queer celebration and liberation.⁠

🏨 Huge Congratulations to Ambie Drew [@ambiedrew], the winner of Hotel Generation 2025, for her proposal ‘Soft Bodies, Cold Machines’⁠
⁠
‘Soft Bodies, Cold Machines’ is a dreamy, haunting excavation of digital girlhood, posthuman desire, and the emotional ruins of early internet life. Merging sculpture, film, and interactive tech, the work explores how softness, cuteness, and glitch operate as acts of refusal within cold machine logics. Drawing on glitch feminism, Web 2.0 aesthetics, and personal archive, Ambie builds a world where intimacy is ritualised, fractured, and performed through kitsch, code, and memory. At once shrine and interface, this is a space to be seen, glitched, and held.⁠
⁠
Her mentor on the project was Zaiba Jabbar [@zaibajabbar], founder of @hervisions⁠
⁠
Hotel Generation is arebyte’s annual programme supporting the development of emerging digital artists from across the UK. ⁠
