OBX Connects: May – Luciana Haill
2 May 2024 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
May’s OBX Connects features Luciana Haill whose work intersects new technology, neuroscience and the unconscious to make mental processes visible (in particular – lucid dreams, meditation and nostalgia). She creates interdisciplinary artworks combining augmented reality, heritage, live streaming and performance.
Luciana experienced viral meningitis as a teenager which led to a fascination with the brain, and her brainwave artworks have been described as a form of ‘ephemeral portraiture’ made through monitoring the brainwave EEG signal.
Apparitions (AR) artworks explore urgent contemporary themes around innovation, gentrification, hubris and technology elitism through a reflection on local heritage and Victorian engineering using smartphones and free 3D scanning software.
Her work has happened internationally at venues including Waag Society (Netherlands), Kibla (Slovenia), FACT (UK) and SPILL Festival (UK).
