Lauren Haughey
is a multidisciplinary visual artist, writer and event organiser based in Dublin.
Her practice is mainly concerned with exploring our present historical moment; a time of increasing techno-cultural acceleration and profound alienation and disembodiment. 
Any profound moment of change is flagged by an permeability of boundaries, and Haughey's practice places a magnifying glass on these intersections of identity and culture. Her work engages with themes of cyborgification; between nature, technology, humanity and culture.
She values magic and mythos, and engages with the inexplicable and illusory as a way of understanding the present world, and generating imaginations of new worlds to come.

Installation- 1.4m x 3.8m x 1.2m
Walking pad, Apple iMac, acrylic, steel, masking film, algorithmically edited video

This installation situates the viewer on a conveyor belt- a neverending procession forwards, which leads them nowhere. The video work, shown on an iMac which is suspended at eye level, is made of repurposed videos uploaded online. The video is live edited by a computer programme and cycles the viewer through a simulated experience of being consumed. Industrial systems mirror the logic of digestion, consuming the world and treating it as raw material. Digital technologies act as totems for our hopes of the future and promises of new worlds to come. That future never seems to arrive, and our world collapses in the present. Held between progress and entropy, stasis emerges as the contemporary political mode. 

How can we imagine an alternative when it feels impossible to make sense of the world as it exists?
