(aka) E Michelle Peterson is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of image, sound, and story. Their practice bridges analog and digital photography, generative media, and speculative mythology to examine how technology reshapes memory, identity, and belief.
Through ongoing projects such as Naturally Synthetic Biology, EverydayDrift, Entropy in Harmony, and The Drift Codex, Peterson builds an evolving mythos where machines dream in human metaphors and archives behave like living ecosystems. Each piece—whether still, looped, or sonic—functions as a fragment of a larger cosmology connecting the personal to the planetary.
Based in the Pacific NW, Peterson’s work has appeared in exhibitions in Washington, DC, San Francisco, and Barcelona, and in collaborative digital exhibitions and creative research projects that blur the boundary between digital art, civic reflection, and environmental narrative. Their work has also been published in books and calendars, highlighting award-winning designs and long-form visual storytelling.
