He was a digital art pioneer, making himself an avatar in disturbing films. Now Ed Atkins has a new medium: the pandemic Post-it note. Ahead of a major Tate show, we meet the shapeshifting artistWhen he was younger and his parents were out of the house, Ed Atkins used to sit on the landing and force himself to imagine all the ways they might die. “My thinking was that if I imagined it first, then it would be very unlikely to actually happen,” says the 42-year-old artist.Atkins’ parents didn’t succumb to any of the ways he had invented.
