About
Laura Simpson in a nutshell:
5’2″
Energetic source for ideas and explosions. I make code dance and pixels quiver.
On Design: Design is an amazingly organic process, that flourishes within a structured system of prototyping, testing and iteration. I work to combine design methods and process with my own art process.
On Interaction Design : Interaction design is a combination of disciplines, offering different ways of looking at the world and evaluating how it all works. I want to make work that is effortless to use.
On Video: Video has surprisingly become my medium of choice, but not for the same narratives that I watch on television. I make narratives out of nothing. Video is a powerful critical tool in examining aspects of time, qualities of space and how I perceive them.
On Installation Art: Installation has taken on many meanings for me. At first blush, they seemed to be sculptures that refused to be “outdoors” sculpture, made of rock, metal or plastic. Upon second, third and fourth investigations, Installation is ever growing and evolving. Can my little creations grow to take up all of your attention?
My Art Process: Television, video and the Internet are mediums of information, sources of entertainment and a cultural force. Using such media as a foundation in creating art establishes a commonality with ideas of fine art, embraces the quotidian, activates the connections of mass culture and facilitates a dialogue between artist and viewer. The visibility of process in my work is a way for me to negotiate the space between the technical means that I use and the narrative intent. I hope by showing the mechanics of this negotiation, the dialogue between subject and form will resonate with the viewer.
