Laura (b.1999, she/her) is an architectural researcher based in London. Spanning essay, poetry, performance and video, her work explores the technologies weaponised by state, corporate and colonial actors to discipline, survey, securitise and pollute space, bodies, objects and stories. Interested by the disorientating effects of computation, automation and gamification on contemporary visual cultures, Laura utilises her practice as a rehearsal space for technical misuse. In doing so, she joins a growing alliance of activists, artists, coders, hackers, and technologists similarly intent on unleashing technology’s subversive and counterforensic potential.
Laura holds a BA International Relations degree (First Class) from the University of St Andrews and a MA Research Architecture degree (Distinction) from Goldsmiths' Centre for Research Architecture.
She is the Creative Coordinator at ALL PROJECTS gallery and the Communications Coordinator for ASSEMBLE architecture studio. Previously, she was the Project & Publishing Coordinator for OK-RM and InOtherWords.
