THE VISITING ARTISTS & SCHOLARS SERIES
Laura Splan is a transdisciplinary artist working at the intersections of science, technology, and culture. Her research-based studio practice culminates in multimedia exhibitions that reframe artifacts of biotechnology to unravel entanglements of natural and built systems. Splan’s artworks and exhibitions combining poetic materialities and sensory experiences have been presented at Museum of Arts & Design, Pioneer Works, and New York Hall of Science. Her work is represented in the collections of Thoma Art Foundation and Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and has been commissioned by the CDC Foundation and Bruges Triennial. Her work has been featured on Science Friday and included in “Life Eternal” published by The Nobel Prize Museum. Splan’s research has been supported by the Jerome Foundation and Simons Foundation and she was an NEA Digital Arts Fellow at AS220. She advises artists through Plexus Creative, her studio practice advisory, and has taught new media art courses at Stanford University.
