ABOUT THE CURATORLaura Splan is a New York City based artist working at the intersections of Science, Technology, and Culture. Her research-based studio practice culminates in multimedia artworks, exhibitions, and events. With an approach grounded in what she calls the “GUI/gooey”, her work reframes artifacts of the posthuman landscape to interrogate the liminal spaces that mediate our relationship to nature and to our bodies. Her experimental curatorial projects serve as intersectional spaces to facilitate conceptual affinities and connections among artists in all media.
