Lauren Ruiz is a research based multimedia artist interrogating ecological contamination, institutional authority, and bioethics through speculative-fiction-based installations, interactive performance, and digital works. Her work calls attention to the direct effects of individual choices on the environment and the future of human existence amidst anthropogenic climate change.
Ruiz draws upon environmental data and science journals, climate fiction novels and horror films. Her interactive installations situate viewers in recognizable institutional spaces, affecting how they relate to the complex mechanisms of evolution, ecology, data, and identity relative to institutional power and personal embodiment. |
