Amalia Lindo (b. 1990, United States) is a multi-disciplinary conceptual artist based in Naarm/Melbourne. She immigrated to Australia from Harare, Zimbabwe in 2005, and is of Hispanic-American origin. In 2016, she completed a Bachelor of Fine Art (First Class Honours) at Monash University. Through the mediums of video, sculpture, installation, and drawing, Lindo explores the complex interplay between humans and technology. Her work focuses on the social and environmental impacts of technological production, examining the hidden supply chains that drive emerging technologies through the extraction of data, human labour, and natural resources. In 2022, she was the winner of the Digital Art Prize', a biennial national award for digital art presented by Goolugatup Heathcote, Perth.
