INFORMATION
Sean Alexander Fisher is an engineer wearing pataphysical goggles.
With a background in mechanical engineering, having studied at The Glasgow School of Art and the Design Academy Eindhoven. His practice merges engineering and pataphysics to explore how systems break down, mutate and reassemble. He is drawn to transformation in materials, ideas and machines, and to the often absurd ways human culture adapts to its environment. Working across multiple mediums including film, sculpture, installation and performance, he responds to fringe engineering cultures, ecological shifts, economics, communities and time.
Fisher also works as a photographer and writer, his work can be seen here.

Goldfish Boys Production Company
“Humour through truth!”
We are a film studio working at the intersection of journalism, technoculture, and cultural anthropology. Our work explores the political, ecological, historical, and aesthetic systems embedded in objects, spaces, and stories. We create films, performances and interventions that interrogate the designed world and those who shape it.
Goldfish Boys films are for those who sense that behind every design lies an untold story. Whether investigating a trade show, a supply chain or a cultural myth, we bring attention to context and process and always bring nuance.
Our team spans disciplines: filmmakers, designers, mechanical engineers, writers, researchers, translators, artists, performers, opera singers, musicians and epidemiologists.
Bring us to where you are. Hire us today.
