SEAN ALEXANDER FISHER
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.

We are a film studio operating at the intersection of journalism, critical design, and cultural anthropology. Our work investigates 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 rigorous attention to contexts and processes, always bringing nuance.
Our team spans disciplines: filmmakers, designers, mechanical engineers, writers, researchers, translators, performers, opera singers and epidemiologists. We operate across formats, but share a common method — humour through truth.
