Lauren Haughey

is a multidisciplinary visual artist, organiser, producer, and writer based in Dublin.  Her practice explores the cultural, technological, and ecological conditions shaping contemporary life. 

Working across performance, sculpture, installation, moving image, participatory practice, and food-based interventions, she uses research-led and process-based experimentation to investigate how stories, myths, and collective imaginaries emerge within contemporary systems of meaning. In her practice, she aims to provide a lens of enchantment and sensitivity through which to view the world, with an approach of care and curiosity.

Ad Nauseam
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?
