Visual artist (Bogota, 1978) based in Brussels.
Video has been the central focus of her artistic work. Her research materializes in the form of immersive audiovisual installations that delve into the spectator’s perception of space and image. She is interested in the creation of environments that activate the relationship of the participants with their own body and its spatial perception. Her work relates to the politics of the human body, the matter of body perception and the engagement of the spectator with the artwork.
In parallel Laura has worked as a video performer, starting as a VJ in the early Techno scene of Bogota. Since then, Laura has collaborated with different musicians and composers (Todor Todoroff, Sigrid Vandenbogaerde, Franck Smith, Oliver Coates, etc.) creating visual works, performances and concerts. She’s currently collaborating with Cryptic (UK) in the creation of visual material (mixing different media through advance composite techniques). Next project with the Third Coast Percussion will be showed in July 2016.
Her work has recently been showcased at Kings Place (London,UK), The Glasgow school of arts (Glasgow-UK), the Museum of Contemporary Art of Montreal, Canada, during the International Biennale of New Media Art, at festival Elektra-Mutek, EM15, at the Imperial Theatre of Montreal, Canada, at the Cube – Centre for Digital Creation (Paris, F), the International Computer Music Conference (Huddersfield, UK), Nadine, iMal at the Erasmus Museum and Sint-Lukasgalerie in Brussels (BE), The Festival Crea Numerica in the Games of La Francophonie (Beirut, Lebanon), the Arts Centre in Enghien-les-Bains (F), at City Sonic (Mons, B), during the Ars Musica Festival 2013 at the Theatre Brigittines (Brussels, B) and at the Museum of Bozar (Brussels, B).
