INFORMATION
Sean Alexander Fisher is an engineer wearing pataphysical goggles.
With a background in engineering and having previously studied at The Glasgow School of Art and Design Academy Eindhoven his practice blends mechanical engineering and pataphysics. His fascination with metamorphosis and transformation is evident as he turns a critical eye towards humanity's use of the planet's finite resources. Through his sculptures, Fisher, emphasises and responds to the absurd relationship society has with fringe engineering cultures. Furthermore, he explores the interrelations between ecology, economics, communities, and time.
Fisher also works as a photographer and writer, his work can be seen here.

Pataphysical Engineering Thesis, 2022.
Remember as a kid when feats of engineering innovation adorned your walls in poster form, like Cinelli Laser’s, HMS Discoveries and Lockheed Nighthawks? I don't. I’ve only ever had James Donohue’s Fibreglass Shark Bicycle, Tarai Bunés and Daniel Dalby’s Pouchel. My Master's thesis is a series of posters that are housed in a silkscreened linen-covered box, emulating those old first-edition mechanical engineering books, inside containing texts on three pataphysial engineering icons.
