Bunny Kinney is known for working as a Creative Director in the digital space, specifically within fashion, film and beauty, and he’s worked for publications and platforms including Nowness, Dazed, Vice Media, and i-D. In 2018 Bunny launched DAZED BEAUTY, a gen z-focused beauty publication co-created with makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench. As of May 2025, Bunny was appointed as Global Executive Creative Director for the cultural entertainment and publishing studio, Dazed Studio.
We talk about VIRTUAL BEAUTY, the recent exhibition Bunny co-curated with Gonzalo Herrero Delicado and Mathilde Friis at Somerset House (open until 28th Sept 2025). The exhibition displays more than 20 different artists exploring the ways in which technology has become inseparable from beauty, identity and how we represent ourselves – and even how we perceive ourselves. There’s an array of artworks that address selfie culture, augmented reality, face filters, cosmetic surgery, and what the future looks like with AI sex dolls, deepfakes, and alternative reproduction. Through visceral and often confronting artworks, the exhibition manifests the paradoxes that arise in this digital age when tech is entangled with issues of race, gender and sex.
We discuss all this and more in this episode.
