American b. 1 - Laura Splan’s work explores intersections of art, science, technology and craft. Her conceptually based projects examine the material manifestations of our mutable relationship with the human body. She reconsiders perceptions and representations of the corporeal with a range of traditional and new media techniques. She often combines the quotidian with the unfamiliar to interrogate culturally constructed notions of order and disorder, function and dysfunction. Her frequent combinations of textiles with technology challenge values of "the hand" in creative production and question notions of agency and chance in aesthetics. Her recent work uses biosensors to create data-driven forms and patterns for digitally fabricated sculptures, weavings and prints. Splan's work has been included in exhibitions at Museum of Arts & Design (New York, NY), Neuberger Museum of Art (Purchase, NY) and Beall Center for Art + Technology (Irvine, CA). She has exhibited internationally in Iceland, South Korea, England, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Canada and beyond. Her work is included in the collections of the Thoma Art Foundation, and the NYU Langone Art Collection.
