Arini Byng's practice addresses the affective qualities of materials, gestures and settings - undertaking exercises in image, movement and form to negotiate political scenes.

Recent projects shift to the production of choreographed situations of expanded performance and video to explore relations to site, bodies and environment. Byng (born 1987) holds a B. Fine Art from NAS and B. Fine Art (Honours) from VCA.

Byng lives and works in Naarm (Melbourne) on the unceded sovereign land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.
