Lauren Moffatt is an Australian artist working with immersive environments and experimental narrative practices. Her works, often presented in hybrid and iterative forms, explore the paradoxical subjectivity of connected bodies and the indistinct boundaries between digital and organic life. Her works take the form of speculative fictions and environments, which are conceived using a mixture of traditional, obsolete and pioneering technologies, and which often occupy both physical and virtual space. Lauren builds detailed, complex and paradoxical universes, occupied by misfits and recluses and populated by strange devices and artefacts.
In 2022 Lauren was awarded the Certamen Internacional dee Arte Digital (ES) and the Revista MAKMA Prize (ES), in 2021 she was awarded the grand prize in the inaugural DKB VR Art Prize (DE). Lauren completed her studies in painting, in theory and practice of new media art and in audiovisual creation at the College of Fine Arts (AU), Université Paris VIII (FR), and at Le Fresnoy Studio National des Arts Contemporains (FR) respectively.
Lauren's works have been exhibited internationally at Zabludowicz Collection (UK), Octobre Numerique (FR), La Gaïté Lyrique (FR), SXSW (US), Haus am Lützowplatz (DE), UNSW Galleries (AU), Daegu Art Museum (KOR), Le Grand Palais Ephémère (FR), SAVVY Contemporary (DE), FACT Liverpool (UK) The Sundance Film Festival (US) ZKM (DE), Q21 Freiraum (AT) and at Hartware MedienkunstVerein (DE).
