Hirsch's work engages a variety of media, including installation, film, video, and photography. In her preface to "Negative Space: Orbiting Inner and Outer Experience" curator and writer Melanie O'Brian states "Antonia Hirsch's practice testifies to a long-standing engagement with the quantitative, spatial, and syntactic  systems that structure an understanding of our universe… Hirsch's work relates these ordering structures to embodied and visual experience, considering how the equivocal and often ideological nature of these representational systems is expressed through a level of abstraction."

Hirsch's work has been featured in exhibitions such as "Art In The Age Of…Planetary Computation" at Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam (2015); "Komma (After Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun)", Tramway, Glasgow (2012); "The Global Contemporary: Art Worlds After 1989" at ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (2011–12); and "Universal Code" at  The Power Plant, Toronto.
