Arieh Frosh and Ed Compson are independent artists who work collaboratively on socially engaged, technologically-driven projects. Since 2020, their ongoing series of artworks, workshops, and research experiments have involved technologies that might only become visual through translation, from seabed scanning, to electromagnetic listening, to recording wind speed. They do this to engage with a world that operates — and is made operational — through non-visual means, with visual and material effects. This approach, combined with a critical employment of fiction and an experimental use of tools, allows for a questioning of how machine and ecological thinking operate, interpellate us, and affect imagination.
From 2023-2025 they were East Gallery Fellows at Norwich University of the Arts where they researched how the meeting of contemporary offshore wind turbines with the geological history of Doggerland could be a tool to creatively explore the historical, cultural, and political narratives surrounding wind energy and oceanic thinking. 

Between them, they have exhibited at sites including Centre for Contemporary Art, Glasgow; NiMAC (Nicosia Municipal Arts Centre), Cyprus; CLC Gallery Venture, Beijing; Ginny on Frederick, London; Plicnik Space Initiative, London, and the Sainsbury Centre, Norwich.
