Zoe Mars (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist who adores the outdated, the forgotten and the failed. She uses a mish-mash of drawing, performance, video and audio to create loving homages to classic sci-fi, technology and design, exploring themes of obsolescence and disappointment. Past projects include performance as the Ghost of Computers Past (Goodbye, CSIRAC), a comic book about time travel (Tick Tock), and an audio tour of an abandoned space museum (Astrojet), described by Regional Arts Victoria's Inspiring Arts blog as a "seductive" and "wonderful site derive." Her short video Space Ice Cream was selected and beamed into space as part of APHIDS' Forever Now project, a 21st-century response to the Voyager gold records.
For the last few years, she has worked in collaborative teams to create experiences for Museums Victoria across various sites and scales.
Zoe currently lives and works on the unceded land of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Kulin Nations. She can be contacted at hello (at) zoemars.com .
