Laura Dekker’s work explores how humans and machines interpret and impose meaning on the world, grasping to make sense, probing at the order of things. Recent work examines the role of technologies in how we experience and construct ourselves and our world.

She explores these ideas through interactive works, combining physical materials, artificial intelligence, robotics, layered video and audio. There is always a performative aspect - at the point of production, reception, or both.

These works aim to engage the viewer-participant with a sensorially rich and provocative experience: virtual objects can intrude into the ‘actual’ world, or seemingly mundane materials are activated with a kind of primitive consciousness, creating an oscillation between the virtual and the actual.
